No IHOP outing for these two! Donald Trump bashed fellow Republican presidential candidate John Kasich for his eating habits while speaking at a Rhode Island rally at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Warwick on Monday, April 25.
“Did you see him? He has the news conference all the time when he’s eating. I have never seen a human being eat in such a disgusting fashion,” Trump, 69, told his supporters. “I’m always telling my young son Barron, I’m saying — and I always do it with my kids … I would say, ‘Children, small little bites. Small.’ This guy takes a pancake and he’s shoving it in his mouth. It’s disgusting.”
“Do you want that for your president?” Trump added. “I don’t think so!”
Photos of Kasich, 63, chowing down during the campaign trail have made headlines before. The Ohio governor has previously been spotted eating pizza, an Italian sandwich, hot dogs and ice cream.
Trump’s verbal attack comes just days after Kasich and Ted Cruz announced that they are teaming up against Trump. The two issued statements on Sunday saying that they are dividing their efforts in order to stop Trump’s lead in the polls. Kasich is focusing on Oregon and New Mexico, while Texas senator Cruz, 45, devotes more time to Indiana.
