Bobby Jindal, governor of Louisiana and a Republican presidential candidate, may have found a risky new campaign strategy to get his name in front of the masses: bashing Donald Trump.
“It’s been a lot of fun, but here’s the problem: Donald Trump is not a serious candidate. He’s a narcissist. He’s an egomaniac,” Jindal said at the National Press Club in Washington on Thursday.
“The only thing he believes in is himself,” Jindal said. “I want to say what everybody is thinking about Donald Trump but is afraid to say.”
“Like all narcissists, Donald Trump is insecure and weak … We know that only a very weak and small person needs to constantly tell us how strong and powerful they are.”
“The only thing Donald Trump believes in is himself.”
Those are full-on fighting words as far as Trump is concerned, but Jindal was just getting started.
Jindal released a campaign ad mocking Trump, and later said Trump’s hair looks like “he’s got a squirrel sitting on his head,” after he heard the billionaire’s contentious remarks about fellow GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina’s appearance.
Trump took the bait and went after Jindal on Twitter, which seems to be his favorite avenue for unleashing attacks. In a contradictory tweet, Trump responded to Jindal by saying that he only “responds to people that register more than 1 percent in the polls.”
…. I only respond to people that register more than 1% in the polls. I never thought he had a chance and I’ve been proven right.

Bobby Jindal did not make the debate stage and therefore I have never met him…. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 10, 2015
Trump got a quick response from Jindal, who egged him on.
.@realdonaldtrump I’m disappointed. Is this the best you can do? Are you suffering from low energy today?

.@realdonaldtrump We have met. You wrote a check. A fool & his money are soon parted. A fool & his dad’s money are parted sooner. — Gov. Bobby Jindal (@BobbyJindal) September 10, 2015
Touché! To be continued?
Absolutely.
Jindal followed up Thursday evening with a tweet-beatdown.
Donald Trump is on Charlie Sheen’s “Winning Streak.” Watch it here:

Just in case Trump didn’t hear Jindal’s full remarks about him the first time, Jindal posted his speech:
I said about @realDonaldTrump what other candidates are thinking but don't have the guts to say.

The reason @realDonaldTrump has never read the Bible is because he’s not in it.

And Jindal was still at it today.
.@realdonaldtrump Did you consult polls before attacking Carly Fiorina’s appearance? Or is that just your go-to when challenged by a woman?
— Gov. Bobby Jindal (@BobbyJindal) September 11, 2015
Dang!
So yesterday I pointed out @realDonaldTrump is a substance-free narcissist… All he heard was a stray comment about his hair…I rest my case.
— Gov. Bobby Jindal (@BobbyJindal) September 11, 2015
Trump is Charlie Sheen 2.0.
