Novelty Candidate Donald Trump Mad at Senator for Calling Him Novelty Candidate

Donald Trump sure does want everybody to believe that he's a real Republican candidate and not just some rich reality TV guy who barks out insults and firing people anytime somebody throws a camera in front of his face.

That's why he simply could not let this slight from a Sen. Lamar Alexander stand…

Real estate magnate Donald Trump fired back at Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn.,Tuesday after the senator said the entrepreneur has no business being president.

"There's always someone like Donald Trump who runs who has absolutely no chance of winning," Alexander said over the weekend. "I mean, he's famous for being famous. He may be good in business but he's not going to be president."

"He's not a very effective senator," Trump told Fox, before laying down the gauntlet. "The people of Tennessee are very smart. And they don't like being ripped off by everybody that touches this country. And I have a feeling that maybe he won't be there so long."

There! That oughta do it. Now will you start taking him seriously?
