UPDATE, 4:30 p.m. Wednesday: Trump ended up deleting some of his Tweets, including one about him calling for a revolution and mistakenly saying that Obama lost the popular vote.
But the Trump Tweets didn’t stop by any means on Wednesday. Responding to Brian Williams’ comments on the air Tuesday night — see below for details — Trump used six Tweets to fire back.
.@bwilliams knows that I think his newscast has become totally boring so he took a shot at me last night.

The only thing more boring than @bwilliams newscast is his show Rock Center which is totally dying in the ratings—a disaster!

.@bwilliams–wouldn't you love to have my ratings?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2012
Brian–Thanks dummy–I picked up 70,000 twitter followers yesterday alone. Cable News just passed you in the ratings. @NBCNightlyNews
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2012
Brian, I hope @NBCNightlyNews isn't paying you too much–look at what's happening to nightly news.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2012
Brian Williams was never a smart guy but always passes himself off as such. People will learn the truth! @NBCNightlyNews

He continued Tweeting throughout the day about the election, commenting on everything from the stock market to Jeep production in China to global warming. For your entertainment, follow the action here.

Donald Trump has been relentless on Twitter for the past few days, pushing people to vote for Mitt Romney.
Tuesday night, Trump’s Tweets got a little crazy. (And yes, this is Trump’s real account. It’s verified.)
After Barack Obama was re-elected for his second term late Tuesday night, Trump seemed a little bummed out.
Well, back to the drawing board!

But then Trump exploded. The meltdown started with this one, calling the result a “travesty,” and continued.
We can't let this happen. We should march on Washington and stop this travesty. Our nation is totally divided!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2012
Lets fight like hell and stop this great and disgusting injustice! The world is laughing at us.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2012
This election is a total sham and a travesty. We are not a democracy!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2012
Our country is now in serious and unprecedented trouble…like never before.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2012
Our nation is a once great nation divided!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2012
Then, Trump called the Electoral College a “disaster for democracy.” He probably wouldn’t have said that after the 2000 election, when Al Gore won the popular vote.
The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2012
Hopefully the House of Representatives can hold our country together for four more years…stay strong and never give up!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2012
House of Representatives shouldn't give anything to Obama unless he terminates Obamacare.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2012
A few celebs responded to Trump. Alec Baldwin, who once appeared on Trump’s reality show, “The Apprentice,” asked him this:

And on the air, NBC’s Brian Williams said this, prefacing Trump’s Tweets with “They’re as they say, ‘out there,’ and getting an airing tonight, so you might as well know about it,” adding that Trump “has driven well past the last exit to relevance.” Ouch!
NBC's Brian Williams: Donald Trump has "driven well past the last exit to relevance and veered into something closer to irresponsible."

Remember that “The Apprentice” airs on NBC. So Williams is calling out a fellow network star — not something you’d always expect.
We’ll be following closely tomorrow to see what else Mr. Trump has to preach — he’s been quite vocal lately. Earlier today, he’s demonstrated his anger in a one-on-one showdown with Dallas Mavericks owner and wealthy entrepreneur Mark Cuban. Well, maybe not so wealthy — Trump Tweeted that Cuban doesn’t have any money.
