While Donald Trump may be irked by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Ohio Gov. John Kasich's plans to join forces against him to ensure he doesn't win the Republican presidential nomination, what Trump really seemed to be fired up about at a Monday rally was Kasich's table manners.
"Did you see him? He has a news conference, all the time when he's eating. I have never seen a human being eat in such a disgusting fashion," the GOP presidential frontrunner said at a rally in Rhode Island.
Trump says even his kids know better than that. "I'm always telling my young son Baron, always with my kids, all of them, I say, 'Children, small, little bites,'" Trump said. "This guy takes a pancake and he's shoving it in his mouth," he continued. "It's disgusting."
