A New York Times look at Donald Trump's treatment of women really got under his skin, if the number of angry tweets is anything to go by. In nine tweets and retweets Sunday (and three more Monday), Trump poured scorn on the "failing" NYT and its "lame hit piece," which, among other things, revealed that he kissed many Miss USA contestants on the mouth. "I have had so many calls from high ranking people laughing at the stupidity" of the NYT, he tweeted, accusing the media of being on a "witch hunt." He also accused the NYT of failing to contact any of the women he had suggested they talk to, the Hill reports. Reporter Michael Barbaro tweeted that the accusation was "factually inaccurate," and that women named by Trump's office were among the dozens of women interviewed for the piece. In other Trump news:
