Donald Trump's vewy tender fee-fees were apparently hurt by Megyn Kelly's revelation that he had fruitlessly tried to woo her before he announced his presidential run. So Trump responded with another childish, sexist retaliation that doesn't exactly inspire confidence in his diplomatic skills.

During her recent fawning interview with Kelly in Vanity Fair, writer Evgenia Peretz painted Trump's boorish attacks on Kelly as similar to that of a jilted suitor:

Trump probably didn’t imagine he’d be (a Kelly target). After all, in his mind, what beautiful woman didn’t want to go to bed with him, right? When I remark to Kelly and her husband that Trump sounded like a jilted suitor after she asked her now famous sexism question, they share a knowing look, and Kelly proceeds cautiously. In the past, she says, “he would send me press clippings about me that he would just sign ‘Donald Trump.’ And he called from time to time to compliment a segment. I didn’t know why he was doing that. And then when he announced that he was running for president, it became more clear. But I can’t be wooed. I was never going to love him, and I was never going to hate him."

In response, Trump attacked Kelly as unappealing. Yesterday, he tweeted, that Kelly "is so average in every way, who the hell wants to woo her!"

Vanity Fair noted that Trump denied Kelly's claim to The Hill with a similar swipe, saying that “the last person in the world I would try to woo is Megyn Kelly.”

This is the man who claims he'll "make America great again," y'all. 

And, by the way, the two will meet up again at the next Fox News debate on January 28.
