During a speech Saturday, Donald Trump let the crowd know that he has a lot of problems with opponent Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R), including the spelling of his last name.
While speaking to a crowd in Connecticut, Trump started on a tear about how many more millions of votes he has than Kasich and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). During that portion of his speech, he stopped to wax poetic about the correct way to pronounce “Kasich.”
“I don’t know how to pronounce his name — Kasich. It’s -i-c-h,” Trump said in a video reported by ABC. “Every time I see it I say Kas-itch. But it’s pronounced Kas-ick.”
Trump went on to call the ordeal of pronouncing his name “ridiculous” and asked the crowd if he could ask Kasich to change the spelling.
“So I’m doing a very good job saying it…Can we ask him to change the spelling of his name? Are we allowed to do that? It’s so ridiculous,” Trump said.

A non-stop, mildly inventive insult machine. Just what the free world needs.
Is Trump having a mini-stroke right before our eyes? Or in this case, our ears?
What a nutjob! Kasich should fire back and tell him to change the name back to Drumpf or whatever the heck it was.
I don’t mind insults. Don Rickles is one of my favorite comedians (the man’s timing was and even now, closing in on 90, still is absolutely impeccable).
But jesus wept, I’m getting sick of listening to the repetitious sixth grade taunts that flows nonstop out of this miserable jackhole.
Wow…the new toned down version really went there??
Well, Donald Drumpf does know a thing or two about changing names…
This man has no boundaries. Good luck trying to get this man to sound presidential. White House here we come.
