Trump Son Retorts to Weiner: ‘Shouldn’t Be Talking About Beating Anything Ever Again’

Written by Teunis Felter

Amid speculation over whether Donald Trump Jr. may be mulling a run for New York City mayor, failed candidate Anthony Weiner offered an opinion that sparked a snarky response from the younger Trump. Asked by a TV news reporter Tuesday about the possibility of a Trump Jr. run for mayor, Weiner said, “I’d come out of retirement just to beat him like a rented mule.” Trump Jr. tweeted in response: “Too soon Anthony!!! You probably shouldn’t be talking about beating anything ever again. Go back to your cave.” Trump Jr., 38, meanwhile, has refused to rule out a run for mayor after his appearance at the Republican National Convention last week.  Mayor de Blasio said he welcomes the challenge.
