“I mean, you have Alfred E. Neuman who’s running, who’s like this guy? This guy Buttigieg,” Trump said. “Can you believe he’s doing well? He’s like the leading fundraiser. I dream about him. It’s true.”
Buttigieg said he’s not concerned about further attacks from Trump should he become the Democratic nominee.
“I’m not that worried for it — I’m gay and I grew up in Indiana,” Buttigieg said Friday. “That kind of schoolyard talk doesn’t bother me. I’ve also seen a lot worse incoming than a tweet full of typos.”
Buttigieg, who was relatively unknown on the national stage just a year ago, has become a top-tier candidate in the crowded field of Democratic candidates.
