Hours before an Iowa rally, Donald Trump spent his morning off trolling other 2016 candidates.
The master of the 140-character burn hit five of his opponents in the Republican primary — Sen. Lindsey Graham, Gov. George Pataki, Gov. Jeb Bush, Sen. Marco Rubio, and Gov. Scott Walker – with both self-authored quips and retweets of his supporters.
After sending out a tweet going after Bush for advertising himself as “Jeb,” Trump picked up where he left off on Monday night slamming him with three tweets targeting the former Florida governor for his controversial remarks on “anchor babies,” which Bush said was more about Asians than Latinos on Monday.
In a clumsy move to get out of his "anchor babies" dilemma, where he signed that he would not use the term and now uses it, he blamed ASIANS

Asians are very offended that JEB said that anchor babies applies to them as a way to be more politically correct to hispanics. A mess!

Jeb Bush just talked about my border proposal to build a "fence." It's not a fence, Jeb, it's a WALL, and there's a BIG difference!

Next up, Trump targeted two more moderate Republicans who are struggling in the polls, New York’s Pataki and South Carolina’s Graham.
.@GovernorPataki did a terrible job as Governor of New York. If he ran again, he would have lost in a landslide. He and Graham ZERO in polls

Graham and Trump have publicly feuded in the past – Trump even read aloud the South Carolina senator’s personal phone number at an event in the state – so he got a few more trolling tweets.
Congrats @LindseyGrahamSC. You just got 4 points in your home state of SC—far better than zero nationally. You’re only 26 pts behind me.
