In response, he posted this on twitter : I love watching these poor, pathetic people (pundits) on television working so hard and so seriously to try and figure me out. They can't!" Also: Trump's "casual inciting of violence" against Hillary Clinton is giving him a lot of flak, with some considering it as a death threat.
