On Thursday, Trump posted several of tweets in response to a Journal editorial that criticized him for refusing to participate in a debate next week, for being unwilling to consult foreign policy experts and other issues. This is what he said:

@WSJ Editorial says "Clinton primary vote total is 8,646,551.Trump's is 7,533,692"-a knock. But she had only 3 opponents-I had 16.Apologize

@WSJ is bad at math. The good news is, nobody cares what they say in their editorials anymore, especially me!

Please explain to the dummies at the @WSJ Editorial Board that I love to debate and have won, according to Drudge etc., all 11 of them!

Overnight, the WSJ has fired back with the following "Trump Reality Check"

Donald Trump won't debate his Republican rivals again but he will continue to argue on Twitter. On Thursday the businessman demanded an apology after we—"the dummies at the @WSJ Editorial Board"—accurately noted that Hillary Clinton has received about a million more votes than he has. The truth hurts, though Mr. Trump would rather walk down Fifth Avenue shooting the messenger.
