El Trumpo continued to give his life-long impression of a petulant 5-year-old today when he responded to reporting that he was trying to meet with the Koch Brothers to beg them for money and was denied.

Here’s what the child tweeted:

I turned down a meeting with Charles and David Koch. Much better for them to meet with the puppets of politics, they will do much better! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 30, 2016







This flies against all reporting, including past statements by the Koch Brothers, but it won’t matter to his legions of brain-addled followers.

He had taunted his opponents for seeking Koch money during the primaries – it looks like that is coming back to bite him on the Obama:

I really like the Koch Brothers (members of my P.B. Club), but I don't want their money or anything else from them. Cannot influence Trump! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 30, 2015

I wish good luck to all of the Republican candidates that traveled to California to beg for money etc. from the Koch Brothers. Puppets? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 2, 2015

Great job, genius.

Here’s what Politico reported about the Koch/Trump meeting yesterday.
