A GOP debate can’t officially kick off without Donald Trump insulting someone and the Donald did just that Tuesday at Ohio Governor John Kasich’s expense.
Kasich began the exchange by criticizing Trump’s plan to deport more than 11 million immigrants without proper documentation.
“It’s a silly argument. It’s not an adult argument,” Kasich said about Trump’s plan. “We all know you can’t pick them up and ship them back across the border.”
Trump shot back that Kasich fell into economic luck in Ohio: “You’re lucky in Ohio that you struck oil.” He went on to cite President Dwight Eisenhower, whom Trump claimed deported 1.5 million immigrants in the 1950s.
The back-and-forth between the two men continued until Trump lost his cool: “I built an unbelievable company worth billions and billions of dollars,” he said. “I don’t have to hear from this guy.”
The bragadocious comment drew audible boos from the crowd and social media has also zeroed in on Trump.
