Donald Trump has always fiercely denied that he has declared bankruptcy and lashed out at anyone who would dare accuse him of such. And that’s exactly what he did on Monday night when MSNBC “The Cycle” host Touré linked to an ABC News article about Trump’s finances.
Touré tweeted the article’s highlights, such as the fact that Trump’s companies have declared bankruptcy four times.

Trump was quick to fire back:
