Donald Trump Says He's Better Looking Than Marco Rubio
Trump's latest take on one of his GOP primary opponents.
— -- He pulled out the Trump card -- in the looks department.
Donald Trump said that he not only had higher poll numbers than fellow GOP presidential contender Marco Rubio -- he was also better looking than his rival.
Trump made the comments on Bloomberg Television's "With All Due Respect," referencing the media fawning over Rubio, who had a successful performance at last week's Republican debate.
"I watched someone on [MSNBC's 'Morning Joe'] this morning...He's fawning over him. He says how handsome he is," Trump said.
"I don’t know, I think I’m better looking than he is."
Trump also called the Florida senator overrated.
“He runs for Senate, and now he wants to be president. I would say -- maybe I’m the last person to say this: Relax, take it easy, take it easy,” said Trump. “I think he’s highly overrated, I think he’s an overrated person, I’ve called him a light weight. I think he’s a light weight – I hope I’m wrong about that.”
He also said that Rubio “is probably a nice person,” but he should have been more loyal to his former mentor Jeb Bush, who Trump describes as “low energy.”
“I was told that he would never run because Bush was his mentor...I said ‘alright’ because…I’m an extremely loyal person…to a fault, frankly... He was very, very disloyal to Bush – I don’t like that,” Trump said.
Rubio's camp did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
