Calls Rep. Anthony Weiner a 'psycho' in online video, urges he be barred from office

The day after Rep. Anthony Weiner admitted to sending a lewd photo of himself via Twitter and lying about it, Trump posted an online video attacking the New York congressman. Trump said Weiner 'is a bad guy' and 'a psycho,' adding he was 'not surprised at all' by the scandal; in a separate statement the same day he called Weiner 'a liar' who 'should never, ever be allowed to run for office again.' Trump also noted he had previously donated to Weiner's campaigns and said 'one good thing' had come out of the episode: he would no longer be solicited for contributions. Retrospective reporting has characterized the video as the opening move in a personal attack campaign against Weiner that Trump sustained across social media for more than five years, well into his own political career.
