Mayor Pete to President Trump: What, Me Worry?

President Donald Trump loves to dole out nicknames to his political rivals -- and they almost always carry an edge of cruelty.

That was certainly the intention when he compared Democrat Pete Buttigieg to Alfred E. Neuman.

As a result, Buttigieg, the 37-year-old South Bend, Indiana, mayor running for the 2020 Democratic nomination, had no idea what Trump was talking about.

“I’ll be honest, I had to Google that,” he said. “I guess it’s just a generational thing. I didn’t get the reference.”
