Trump: Boston Globe ‘a supermarket throw out’

Donald Trump on Monday ripped the Boston Globe, arguing that the newspaper is no longer relevant due to its liberal bias.

“It used to be a major paper,” he said on Fox News’s “Fox & Friends.” “Now it’s like a supermarket throw out. It’s a very sad thing.”

{mosads}The Globe on Sunday published an editorial criticizing Trump’s rhetoric as “deeply disturbing” and “un-American.”

“It is easy to find historical antecedents,” the editorial said of Trump. “The rise of demagogic strongmen is an all too common phenomenon on our small planet.”

The publication’s critique ran alongside a satirical front-page imagining life under a potential Trump administration.

Trump on Monday said that the Globe would never hammer his Democratic counterpart, Hillary Clinton, in similar fashion.

“I wouldn’t hold my breath,” the GOP presidential front-runner said. “They wouldn’t do it on the other side.”

“I won Massachusetts with almost 50 percent of the vote,” he added of last month’s Republican primary. “It just shows you the power that paper has. They don’t want to see strong borders. They don’t want to see good trade deals. They want to see bad trade deals.”
