Trump Hands out Lumps of Coal for Twitter Christmas

Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton, along with NBC's Chuck Todd and Hallie Jackson and two New York Times reporters, got a lambasting for Christmas from GOP front-runner Donald Trump, who aired his grievances against them on Twitter before and after attending church services in Palm Beach, Florida.

Trump launched into the journalists because he did not believe they were treating him fairly, reports CNN, while calling Clinton "totally flawed" and attacking Bush on his campaign's high spending.

New  York Times reporters Amy Chozick and Maggie Haberman drew Trump's ire most likely for their Wednesday story detailing how Clinton has been using Trump's comment about how she was "schlonged" to call together female reporters:

Third rate reporters Amy Chozick and Maggie Haberman of the failing @nytimes are totally in the Hillary circle of bias. Think about Bill!

Meanwhile, Todd and his "Meet the Press" program attracted drew fire for focusing on a Quinnipiac University poll that put himself and second-place challenger Ted Cruz within just a few points of each other, and not a CNN/ORC poll that split them by 21 points:

Why isn't @chucktodd using the much newer @CNN Poll when discussing how well I am doing instead of the older Q Poll? CNN even better!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 24, 2015

.@meetthepress and @chucktodd very dishonest in not showing the new @CNN Poll where I am at 39%, 21points higher than Cruz. Be honest Chuck!

And to Todd's colleague, Jackson:

.@HallieJackson Why didn't you report Hillary lying about the ISIS video. Bad reporting. Perhaps @NBC will do better next year-but doubt it!

Bush, though, took the first round of hits with Trump criticizing him:

Poor @JebBush spent $50 million on his campaign, I spent almost nothing. He's bottom (and gone), I'm top (by a lot). That's what U.S. needs!

In the ridiculous @JebBush ad about me, Jeb is speaking to me during the debate, but doesn't allow my answer, which destroys him - SO SAD!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 24, 2015

Wow, even lowly Rand Paul has just past @JebBush in the new @CNN Poll. Jeb is at 3%, I'm at 39%. Stop throwing your money down the drain!

And to Clinton:

Next year will be an interesting one. I look forward to running against Hillary Clinton, a totally flawed candidate, and beating her soundly

But Trump ended his Christmas Eve round of gift tweets with holiday wishes, saying, ""Merry Christmas to all. Have a great day and have a really amazing year. Together, we will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! It will be done!"
