Video: Trump Responds To Criticisms Of His Pizza-Eating Habits

Last night, Jon Stewart angrily ranted against Donald Trump's pizza-related life decisions (namely, taking Sarah Palin to La Famiglia, stacking his slices, and eating them with a fork and knife). Today, Trump responds with a video of his own, in which he defends his behavior and stokes the Palin for President rumors a bit more.

With questionable grammar, Trump explains his fork and knife choice: "Frankly, it was very comfortable, plus this way you can take the top of the pizza off, you're not just eating the crust. I like not to eat the crust, so I can keep the weight down, at least as good as possible." Oh, right, it was in the interest of health! It all comes together now. And no, he doesn't know if Palin will run, but he does know that "She loves the United States, and she doesn't like whats happening to us right now as a nation." Strong words coming from a man who has himself united so many.

Why does Trump remind me of Jessi Slaughter?

general question:
do people associate trump with NY? i know he has buildings here.... but isnt he more of an AC type o guy?

He is such a stuck up little snob that he thought he was being criticized for not using metal silverware.
Trump is semi-retarded.

"It was comfortable" - who says that?

"fold it like a man!"

ogie

so his defense for using a fucking fork and knife to eat pizza is so he doesn't have to eat the crust? I am pretty sure that you can do the same thing with your hands. What he is really trying to say is "i dont eat with my hands like the rest of the plebs in new york"

Jesus Christ this guy needs to grow a thicker skin. Obama catches heat day and night and maintains his cool. Even Bush rarely ever batted an eye at the jokes slung at him.

I love when people like Trump and Palin try and justify their stupidity—it's fodder for people like Stewart and the media alike.

what the hell happened to his eyes? I think my japanese neighbor's got bigger eyes than this white devil.

They're getting sucked into his mouth.

You didn't watch the Daily Show clip, Donny! It's not that the utensils were plastic, it's that utensils were being used. Fold that shit up #newyork

Actually, the most mediocre pizza in NYC is better than most any pizza I've had in any country, including Italy. Lenny's pizza in Sunnyside is my current fave.

Come on. I love our pizza, but the best pizza here doesn't even compare to most I've had in Italy.

Incidentally, many of the best pizza parlors in Italy are run by North African and Arab immigrants.
