O’Donnell Calls Trump a ‘Buffoon,’ Trump Responds: ‘Lawrence is the Dumbest Man on Television’

Donald Trump and MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell are at it again.

The latest brouhaha started when Trump was asked by CNN’s Ashleigh Banfield this week which cabinet position he would want in a hypothetical Romney administration. On Wednesday’s “The Last Word,” O’Donnell scoffed at the notion that Trump would even be nominated: “Romney knows you’re a buffoon, an unconfirmable joke,” O’Donnell said.

Trump fired back on Twitter yesterday, using his 140 characters (and then some) to excoriate O’Donnell as “a poor man’s Ed Schultz.”

O’Donnell’s response:
