A twitter war escalates between Donald Trump and Bobby Jindal

Washington, Sep 12: If long shot Indian American presidential candidate Bobby Jindal attacked Donald Trump to gain some media attention, the strategy seems to have worked with the Republican frontrunner joining him in a twitter war. After calling the real estate mogul "shallow," a "narcissist and an egomaniac" and a "non-serious carnival act" at an event in the capital Thursday, the Louisiana governor Friday launched a Twitter tirade against Trump. Weighing in on Trump making fun of fellow Republican candidate Carly Fiorina's looks, he told CBS News that the billionaire "should stop attacking other people's appearances." "I think it's pretty outrageous for him to be attacking anybody's appearance," Jindal said, especially "when he looks like he's got a squirrel sitting on his head." Responding to Jindal's slam of his hair, Trump took to Twitter Friday sarcastically calling it "so original." "So yesterday I pointed out @realDonaldTrump is a substance-free narcissist... All he heard was a stray comment about his hair...I rest my case," Jindal tweeted back. Jindal is languishing at the bottom of polls with only 1 percent support and will not appear on CNN's Sep 16 primetime Republican presidential debate where Trump will be centre stage.
