Donald Trump’s ‘Ugly’ Twitter Attack On Arianna Huffington Is Called ‘Projection’
Donald Trump, apparently feeling lonely now that he’s probably not going to be at the Republican National Convention after “turning down” an “invitation” to speak, decided to get some free press (guilty) and love from his Tea Party by attacking a liberal icon, Arianna Huffington.
Via Twitter, Trump said Arianna Hiffington “is unattractive both inside and out,” and added, “I fully understand why her former husband left her for a man- he made a good decision.”

Arianna, the former Mrs. Michael Huffington, was a conservative and married to a one-term Republican Congressman from 1986 to 1997. Congressman Huffington came out as bisexual one year after the couple’s breakup.
Trump added to his ugly Twitter rant:
Don’t think my statement on
@ariannahuff was harsh, if you knew her and the phony Huffington Post you would understand— more to follow.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 28, 2012

TMZ notes:
Trump has been ripping the Huffington Post ever since the website ran a story on August 16, which attempted to uncover why Donald has been so “crabby” recently.
After the article ran, Trump called the Post a “loser” that will “die like AOL is dying.”
Of course, Donald Trump is merely projecting.
