Conservative political commentator Ann Coulter insulted him by tweeting that Trump replaced former President George H.W. Bush as the “biggest wimp.”
Good news for George Herbert Walker Bush: As of today, he is no longer the biggest wimp ever to serve as President of the United States.

On the other hand, Fox Business host, Lou Dobbs said Trump was “mistaken and misinformed about what the Democrats are willing to do.” He suggested that the Democrats “are not putting partisanship aside but they are putting it at the front and center.”
