Donald Trump is escalating his attacks on Sen. Marco Rubio with a special delivery for his rival: "Trump Ice Natural Spring Water."
Trump has previously trained his fire on Rubio, claiming he has the worst voting attendance record in the U.S. Senate and that he sweats a lot. But CNN learned that the Trump campaign sent a "care package" to Rubio's Washington campaign office that contained a 24-bottle case of "Trump Ice Natural Spring Water," with Trump's face on it, two "Make America Great Again" towels and bumper stickers and a note reading, "Since you're always sweating, we thought you could use some water. Enjoy!"
A Trump campaign aide said they added the towels "for him sweating," and described the overall gesture as a lighthearted prank.

Trump is killing it. Ping.
Oh, the outrage that will ensue on this thread when the good taste police arrive! Can’t wait.
Free ink, but not such a good idea IMO.
Too funny! PsyOps to make them overreact and seem touchy...
Lighten up, Francis.;-)
Go Trump go! Go Cruz go! Restore the Constitution!
I would like to order some Trump Ice Natural Spring Water. I drink Dasani, but I could convert.
Lets hope the water was bottled in Mexico!
Drink up Rubio!

Kind of sophomoric, but still, a rather harmless sort of prank. This will not kill the Rubio campaign, as it will die of self-inflicted wounds, but it puts Marco Rubio just a little off his game.
The question is, do we really want a President with a childish sense of humor? Hell, yes!
You bet!!
Trump is always thinking outside the box -—can you imagine what he could do on a world stage? he sure puts the color in normal gray politics......
And...it’ll be a good litmus test for the other candidates. If they see it as a lighthearted prank and respond with good grace, it’ll be a point in their favor. if they are petulant in their response, it shows the rest of the world leaders how best to hit their hot buttons. in other words, if such a little thing will set off a candidate, they’ll know how else to get under his (or her) skin......
It’s not even a matter of good taste. It’s a matter of using good judgement. God knows there are endless things to go after Rubio on. That he sweats is seen by Trump to be, as he would say, SMART?
It’s not smart. It’s stupid. Here’s why. I’m not a heartfelt Trump fan. However, I have become much more favorably inclined toward him since his tax plan and other things he’s said. BUT. Every time I start to think I could vote for him he pulls a stunt like this and I lose more respect for him. I am representative of plenty of other people.
Eventually - the respect can’t be won back.
On the other hand, if I wanted to play armchair shrink, I might wonder if he’s trying to lose...
Love it!!!
LOL!
