Donald Trump at this point is probably just days away from calling Papa John’s and ordering a dozen pizzas to be delivered to the headquarters of each of his rivals for the GOP presidential nomination – with a promise of payment in cash, of course.
Trump’s presidential campaign looks increasingly like a piece of performance art designed to gauge the Republican voter base’s tolerance for a candidate utterly divorced from the idea that a presidential election is a serious national conversation about policy.
According to CNN, the candidate currently in the lead in the Republican presidential primary recently sent a “CARE package” to one of his rivals, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. Trump, who has been attacking Rubio on the stump for drinking too much water and, Trump claims, sweating too much, sent Rubio a case of Trump-branded bottled water. He also threw in some Trump towels, and some Trump campaign bumper stickers.
According to CNN, which appears to have been first in reporting the story, the package came with a note that read, “Since you're always sweating, we thought you could use some water. Enjoy!” A Trump staffer confirmed the stunt originated with the campaign. The towels, the staffer confirmed, were “for him sweating.”
Pause for a moment and consider that the man currently in the lead in the race to be a major party nominee for president is running a campaign that counts Middle School-level taunting as a useful tactic.
