Donald Trump rants about cannibal Republicans: They 'eat their young'

Donald Trump went off on members of the Republican Party on his social media site Tuesday.

Trump isn't in court at his New York trial this week as his CFO Allen Weisselberg testifies and former lawyer Michael Cohen is set to be called. Instead, Trump is at Mar-a-Lago, ranting about members of the Republican Party who don't like him.

"I understand Candidates that are losing by 57 to 70 Points are getting together with RINO Paul RINO, Mitt 'The Loser' Romney, Bill 'No Guts or Talent' Barr, and some broken political 'investors' that will soon come to me, as most others already have," Trump said. It's unclear who "Paul" is in this comment, but it could be Rand Paul, or Paul Ryan, both frequent critics of Trump.

POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office?

"These failed Candidates should have started by campaigning effectively, which they didn’t because they don’t have the skill or the talent! Romney, who today couldn’t get elected 'dogcatcher' in the Great State of Utah, should have beaten an absolutely failed first term Obama. If he and RINO Paul fought as hard against Obama as they do against President Donald J. Trump, they would never have lost," Trump continued, speaking of himself in the third-person.

"...but remember, Republicans 'Eat Their Young,' and that’s the problem with so many in our Party, they go after the people who are on their side, rather than the Radical Left Democrats that are DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY," Trump said. "These are LOSERS, and the Republican Nation must stop following their failed ideas and policies. They only help Crooked Joe Biden!"

The reference to cannibalism comes after Trump championed Hannibal Lecter during a rally speech Saturday. He appeared to think the serial killer was an actor.

"Hannibal Lecter, how great an actor was he?" said Trump. "You know why I like him? Because he said on television on one of the – ‘I love Donald Trump.’ So I love him. I love him. I love him. He said that a long time ago and once he said that, he was in my camp, I was in his camp. I don’t care if he was the worst actor, I’d say he was great to me."
