Megyn Kelly returned from her suspiciously timed vacation Monday night, and Donald Trump — who likely had a role in the timing of her absence — couldn’t pass up the opportunity to live-tweet her homecoming.
.@megynkelly must have had a terrible vacation, she is really off her game. Was afraid to confront Dr. Cornel West. No clue on immigration!

I liked The Kelly File much better without @megynkelly. Perhaps she could take another eleven day unscheduled vacation!

Although Trump merely retweeted someone else calling Kelly a “bimbo,” it’s worth noting that it’s the second time he’s done so. It’s almost as if he believes that while retweets aren’t endorsements, repeatedly retweeting the same insult about the same person won’t give people the impression that it’s a belief he shares with followers.
Once he had finished dispatching Kelly, or whatever it was he thought he was doing, Trump turned his attention to Jeb Bush:
"@YoungYoung54: @JeriHyatt @megynkelly @JebBush So true. Jeb Bush is crazy, who cares that he speaks Mexican, this is America, English !!"

Jeb Bush never uses his last name on advertising, signage, materials etc. Is he ashamed of the name BUSH? A pretty sad situation. Go Jeb!

In a clumsy move to get out of his "anchor babies" dilemma, where he signed that he would not use the term and now uses it, he blamed ASIANS

Asians are very offended that JEB said that anchor babies applies to them as a way to be more politically correct to hispanics. A mess!

At least he didn’t attack Jeb for how he looks — at least not yet, it’s only 8:08 a.m. on the East Coast.
