Donald Trump's sliding poll numbers in a
new national poll - and
early-voting state Iowa – had his Twitter feed roiling.
One Trump fan complained: While another criticized the Weekly Standard editor and
political commentator Bill Kristol – and his analysis of the Trump candidacy as "kind of a fantastic joy ride" that "kind of comes to an end at some point."
Meanwhile, Trump went on
MSNBC Tuesday morning shortly after the New York Times/CBS News poll showed him nudged from the top national spot, and hit rival Ben Carson's Medicaid and Medicare proposals.
"Because I will make the best trade deals, I will be strongest and best on the military, I will get rid of Obamacare. You know, Ben wants to knock out Medicare, I heard that over the weekend," Trump remarked on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," referring to a
Politico report. "I think abolishing Medicare, I don't think you're going to get away with that one."
"And it's actually a program that's worked. So it's a program that some people love, actually," Trump said.
He also said "I don't quite get" the results of the Iowa polls, and insisted he won't fade from politics. "I'm in to the end," he declared, conceding, however: "What happens, I can't tell you… but I think I've done a commendable job."
