We don’t get too political here at PhillyInfluencer.com, but we can’t just let this go without touching on it. Donald Trump, who raised eyebrows and advocated hate in a speech on Monday, less than 24 hours after President Obama spoke on the terrorist attacks from last week in San Bernardino, has now taken aim at the mayor of Philadelphia, Michael Nutter.
In Trump’s speech on Monday, he advocated for the freeze on allowing Muslims to enter the United States until the “Visa situation was figured out.” Practically all politicians and common folk denounced Trump’s remarks. One of those was Nutter, who didn’t pull any punches when asked about the multi-billionaire.
Trump didn’t take to kindly to the insult.
That “disgusting” word Trump is referring is asshole. Yes, Nutter called him an asshole. Nutter also compared Trump to Hitler, saying “he’s taken a page out of the playbook of Hitler.” I guess being called an asshole is more offensive than being compared to Hitler.
As for Nutter, I’m not sure if he ever got Trump’s response. His Twitter handle is (@Michael_Nutter). So, who’s (@Mayor_Nutter)?
Welp.

Welp.
I’ve been bitching at Nutter for years on Twitter. Doubt he knows he even has an account as not ONE of my concerns has been addressed. And they’re some pretty good ideas. I’m an idea guy. I thrive on enthusiasm.
