Epic fail: Donald Trump turns Gawker cell phone attack into campaign gold

 Gawker thought it would humiliate Trump, but ends up on losing end of the stick.

 Gawker thought it would humiliate Trump, but ends up on losing end of the stick.

"Gawker should have known better than to take on a media-savvy mogul like Donald Trump. On Monday, the publication released Trump's cell phone number in an apparent effort to humiliate him for releasing Sen. Lindsey Graham's number. But, Breitbart.com reported Tuesday, Trump turned the tables, using his cell phone as a tool to get out his campaign message.

" 'Thank you @gawker!" Trump tweeted. "Call me on my cellphone 917.756.8000 and listen to my campaign message." Now, thanks to Gawker, everyone who calls the number can hear Trump's message. We tested the number and sure enough, Trump can be heard telling callers how they can help "make America great." The voicemail box is full, however, so no one can leave a message.

" 'So what cellphone number do we use to book an interview with you, sir?" one person asked. "The Donald Trumps the Commie Journalist," another person tweeted. "It's evident considering the epic media fails in this orchestrated attempt to destroy Trump!" a third person declared." . . .
