(AP Photo/Charles Krupa) WEST CHESTER, Pa. – Republican Donald Trump took aim at rival John Kasich’s table manners Monday, labeling his eating “disgusting” and calling him “a stubborn guy who eats like a slob.”
Especially offensive to the GOP front runner was Kasich’s on-camera consumption of pancakes, which he suggested was unpresidential.
“This guy takes a pancake and he’s shoving in his mouth. It’s disgusting. Do you want that for your president? I don’t think so,” said Trump, who later said his youngest son, Barron, had called him over to the television to watch. “I have never seen a human being eat in such a disgusting fashion,” Trump added, saying later that his youngest son, Barron, had called him over to the television to watch.
He said, “‘Daddy look.’ I said, ‘Don’t watch!'” said Trump, who said he’s been trying to teach his son to always take, “Little bites, little bites.”
Later at a rally in West Chester, Pennsylvania, Trump again zeroed in on the footage of Kasich, describing him “shoving pancake – I never saw anything like it. It’s pouring out of his mouth and the cameras are on him.”
