Trump Slams Schultz, Calls Himself Smartest Person in Country
President Donald Trump used Twitter to slam Shultz’s interest in running for President in 2020.
“Howard Schultz doesn’t have ‘the guts’ to run for President! Watched him on @60Minutes last night and I agree with him that he’s not the ‘smartest person.’ Besides America already has that! I only hope that Starbucks is still paying me their rent in Trump Tower!” Tweeted Trump.
Schultz also used his 60 Minutes appearance to talk about his new book, “From the Ground Up.”
