Republican candidate Donald Trump has done one of his spoilt child behavior.... again, as he calls his opponent, fellow Republican senator Lindsey Graham, an ''idiot'' during a rally at the senators home state, south carolina, and reads out his number.
He went after the senator, after he claims the senator called him a jackass during a recent interview.
The former TV personality told supporters that Sen Graham called him several years ago seeking campaign contributions and looking for connections at Fox News.
"You know, I'm saying to myself, what is this guy, a beggar?" Mr Trump said of Sen Graham.
"He gave me his number, and I found the card. I wrote the number down. I don't know if it's the right number. Let's try it."
Mr Trump then read the phone number aloud.
Sen Graham's presidential campaign confirmed the number belonged to the senator.
The campaign said in a statement that Mr Trump "continues to show hourly that he is ill-prepared to be commander in chief".
The move marked the latest dust-up between Mr Trump and his Republican rivals.
He was already facing a firestorm for his controversial remarks about Senator John McCain's war record that came in the wake of the senator calling Trump supporters "crazies".
"He's not a war hero," Mr Trump said at an event in Iowa. "He was a war hero because he was captured.
"I like people who weren't captured."
Mr Trump has rejected calls from both Democrats and Republicans to apologise to Sen McCain, who spent five years being tortured in a Hanoi prison.
He later softened his stance in an interview on Fox News, in which he said he accepted Sen McCain was a war hero.
Mr Trump also sparked a furore in recent weeks when he said Mexican immigrants were rapists and drug dealers.
Despite the rolling controversies, Mr Trump continues to poll well among Republican voters. He currently holds a healthy lead over all 15 of the other Republican presidential candidates.
Sen Graham has been polling near the bottom of the list at less than 1%.
