President Donald Trump has bashed one of the loudest neoconservative 'Never Trumpers', Bill Kristol, seizing on news that Kristol's anti-Trump Weekly Standard magazine is folding.
'The pathetic and dishonest Weekly Standard, run by failed prognosticator Bill Kristol (who, like many others, never had a clue), is flat broke and out of business. Too bad. May it rest in peace!' Trump tweeted on Saturday morning.
It follows an announcement on Friday that the Weekly Standard, which Kristol co-founded in 1995, will be ceasing publication.
Kristol, an avid Twitter user, responded to Trump's tweet simply: '@ me next time'.

In April 2016, Kristol's Weekly Standard called the prospect of a Trump presidency 'unthinkable'. The neocon magazine perpetually attacked Trump on foreign policy
Trump's attack on Kristol came amid multiple tweets trashing his critics in the press.
'Never in the history of our Country has the “press” been more dishonest than it is today,' he tweeted earlier in the day.
'Stories that should be good, are bad. Stories that should be bad, are horrible. Many stories, like with the REAL story on Russia, Clinton & the DNC, seldom get reported. Too bad!'
