“Congrats to @KarlRove on blowing $400 million this cycle,” Trump tweeted. “Every race @CrossroadsGPS ran ads in, the Republicans lost. What a waste of money.”

Rove is one of the main figures behind the American Crossroads SuperPAC, which, with its affiliate CrossroadsGPS, raised hundreds of millions in support of the Republican cause.

Trump offered equal opportunity outbursts Wednesday, however. “The stock market and US dollar are both plunging today. Welcome to @BarackObama’s second term,” he wrote. He also issued a “pervert alert” after noticing former Democratic congressman Anthony Weiner had returned to Twitter.

His initial attacks were centred on the idea that Obama had won the election without winning the popular vote, which turned out not to be the case. Many of the tweets in that tirade have been deleted, but not before they were noticed by NBC’s Brian Williams.
