Gawker publishes Donald Trump's phone number
It looks as if Donald Trump is about to get a taste of his own medicine. Gawker has published his phone number in retaliation for Trump sharing Sen. Lindsey Graham's last month. The website is encouraging its readers to call up the presidential hopeful and harass him with their questions.
Last month, American reality show entertainer turned American political system entertainer Donald Trump publicized presidential rival Sen. Lindsey Graham's cell number, urging his supporters to "try it." In the spirit of open and fair political debate, we now bring you Trump's number [...] He has some pressing questions to answer. Does he still think Mexicans are out to rape you? Speaking of rape, does he think it's possible to rape your own wife? Just how much did he exaggerate his net worth to hit the $10 billion figure? What about breast milk does he find so disgusting? Which cabinet position would he give Sarah Palin? Interesting topics, all. [Gawker]
Gawker also encourages readers to record their phone calls if they get through to Trump, and to send them to the site. It appears Gawker's new mission to be "20 percent nicer" does not apply to The Donald.
