AceShowbiz - Cory Booker has announced that he suspended his presidential campaign and Donald Trump just couldn't let it slide. The president has responded with a sarcastic tweet after the New Jersey senator broke the news on Monday, January 13.

"Really Big Breaking News (Kidding): Booker, who was in zero polling territory, just dropped out of the Democrat Presidential Primary Race," so POTUS tweeted. He mockingly added, "Now I can rest easy tonight. I was sooo concerned that I would someday have to go head to head with him!"

Trump's apparent dig at Booker's withdrawal from the Democratic primary has since backfired, with many people calling him out for his petty comments. "The pettiness of it all," one commented on the president's tweet. Another similarly responded, "He's petty af."

Another dubbed the 73-year-old "so embarrassing," while one other said, "He's sick." Someone else said, "No 69 Trump the next best troll on the internet, I hate this neeega." Another user wrote, "What an embarrassment. Tweets like a teenager."

"This startn to get childish," one branded Trump's reaction to Booker's announcement. Another suggested, "man somebody take his phone from him," while some others found good laugh with the president's sarcastic tweet.
