Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg said on Friday that President Donald Trump’s comments that he dreams about him were a little unsettling.
“It did bother me when he said he dreams about me,” the South Bend, Ind., mayor quipped during a Washington Post Live event. “I don’t know exactly what goes on in this president’s dreams, but I’m certain that I want nothing to do with them.”
Trump said at a rally in Hershey, Pa., on Tuesday that he had dreamed of Buttigieg. He also compared the White House hopeful to Mad magazine mascot Alfred E. Neuman.
“I mean, you have Alfred E. Neuman who’s running, who’s like this guy? This guy Buttigieg,” Trump said. “Can you believe he’s doing well? He’s like the leading fundraiser. I dream about him. It’s true.”
Buttigieg also added that he is not worried from any attacks or bullying from Trump if he becomes the Democratic nominee.
“I’m not that worried for it — I’m gay and I grew up in Indiana,” Buttigieg said Friday. “That kind of schoolyard talk doesn’t bother me. I’ve also seen a lot worse incoming than a tweet full of typos.”
Meanwhile, Buttigieg is rising and becoming a leading candidate among the Democratic candidates.
