Trump, Axelrod trade 'fool' insults

Obama's top campaign strategist and one of Mitt Romney's most high-profile surrogates have one word for each other this week: "Fool."

When will @davidaxelrod realize he is on a fool's errand trying to defend @BarackObama's ineptitude?

Donald Trump and David Axelrod, who stand on opposite sides politically and seem to share a personal enmity as well, tweet at or about each other regularly.

On Wednesday night in an interview with Current TV, Axelrod described Trump as a making "a fool out of himself" this week on a west coast fundraising tour with Mitt Romney. 

Thursday, Trump tweeted his opinion of Axelrod, writing that he is "on a fool's errand" stumping for Obama's campaign. The tweet was likely a response to a press event in Boston earlier in the day where Axelrod was forced to shout over pro-Romney protesters.
