I have to think that for Trump this is almost as unkind a cut as the talk of his small hands and fingers.
"If there's one thing that sets Donald Trump off, it's accusing him of having small hands, undersized mitts or less-than-prodigious digits. The man simply cannot let such a slight go unanswered."
"Perhaps that's why Rep. Dina Titus (D-Nev.) chose that specific line of attack during a brief speech Tuesday on the floor of the House."
"Titus was criticizing Trump for what she deemed to be bragging — in this case about being able to make money if the housing market crashed. The comments she was referencing were unearthed by CNN last week; in a 2006 audiobook released by Trump University, he said he was rooting for the housing market to crash so that rich developers like him could swoop in and buy real estate cheaply."
"I sort of hope that happens because then people like me would go in and buy," Trump said in the audiobook.
"And Titus wasn't having it."
"He rooted for that bubble to burst," she said Tuesday on the House floor. "Well, the crash of the housing market devastated my hometown of Las Vegas, which was one of the hardest-hit in the country.... We remember how awful it was, so we say to Mr. Trump: Keep your short fingers out of the Nevada housing market."

While this clearly gets under his skin, I have to think that being rebuffed by Kim Jong-un has to be right up there for Trump.
This is a guy who admires dictators like Kim Jong, Putin, and the Chinese government for perpetuating the Tinanmen Square massacre. He even keeps a book of Hitler's speeches locked in a cabinet by his bed.

Yet, Kim Jong declares Trump's hand of friendship to be 'nonsense.'
"Donald Trump’s pledge to engage with North Korea is not being met with open arms in Pyongyang."
"So Se Pyong, the country’s ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, told Reuters he believes Trump’s calls to speak with Kim Jong-un are a form of political posturing."
“It is up to the decision of my Supreme Leader whether he decides to meet or not, but I think his [Trump’s] idea or talk is nonsense,” So told the news agency.

“It’s for utilization of the presidential election, that’s all. A kind of a propaganda or advertisement,” he added. “This is useless, just a gesture for the presidential election.”
"Trump drew attention last week when he told Reuters he would be open to dialogues with Kim Jong-un about the state’s nuclear ambitions. “I would speak to him, I would have no problem speaking to him,” Trump told Reuters."
