Trump pounces on Megyn Kelly on her first day back from vacation

Donald Trump welcomed Megyn Kelly back from vacation with a reminder that he hadn't forgotten about those tough questions at the first 2016 GOP debate. After Kelly returned to host her show on Fox News, Trump trolled her on Twitter yet again, this time saying that she "must have had a terrible vacation, she is really off her game" and calling for her to "take another 11 day unscheduled vacation!" In the long slew of tweets and Twitter interactions that followed, The Donald also retweeted someone calling Kelly a "bimbo." Though Trump had the decency to pause his attacks while Kelly was on vacation, his tweets indicate that he sure seems to be holding a grudge.
No one says welcome back quite like Trump.
