Donald Trump gloats over DNC chaos: 'Debbie, you're fired'
Donald Trump didn't exactly have the smoothest Republican convention, but now that he's out of the hot seat, he can safely gloat over the spontaneous combustion that is the current Democratic National Convention. He weighed in on the Debbie Wasserman Schultz scandal on Monday using the catch phrase from his reality TV show, The Apprentice.
"They said Debbie, you're fired," Trump said, making a finger gun. "Get out, Debbie. Out. Boom."
