Donald Trump shredded his nagging opponents Monday, deriding Ted Cruz for what he hasn't accomplished in the Senate and mocking John Kasich for a host of issues, including the way he eats.

Trump, holding his first campaign event since Cruz and Kasich announced they would cede states to each other in an effort to stop Trump from winning the GOP nomination outright, imitated a news conference Cruz held earlier Monday, telling supporters that Cruz was bewildered “because he’s losing so badly.”

“So he's stuttering and he’s stammering and I watched him and he's saying, ‘I want jobs and I want the economy and I want this and I want that’ — all stuff that I've been saying for years,” Trump said during a rally in Warwick, Rhode Island. “And he just started saying it. He doesn't know anything about the economy. He doesn't know anything about jobs. He was a failed senator. He couldn't get anything passed. Nothing.”

“All he is is a guy that will go down and stand and filibuster for a day or two, and the other senators all look, ‘When is he getting off the floor, Jim?’” Trump added, impersonating a random senator. “’Guy’s a pain in the ass. When’s he getting off the floor?’”

As for Kasich, the Republican presidential front-runner said he’s “just a stubborn guy” who won’t drop out.

“That's all he is,” Trump said. “He's like if you have a child that just says: ‘I want it, mommy. I don't care, mommy. I want it, daddy. I don't care. I want it.’”

Trump suggested that Chris Christie and Ben Carson, two former candidates who backed the billionaire after suspending their campaigns, were doing better when they ended their White House bids than Kasich is now, as did Marco Rubio, who still has more delegates than Kasich although he suspended his campaign more than a month ago.

He also blasted the way Kasich eats.

“He has a news conference all the time when he's eating. I have never seen a human being eat in such a disgusting fashion,” Trump said while acting out his account. “I’m always telling my young son Barron, I'm saying — and I, always with my kids, all of them — I say, children, small, little bites. Small. This guy takes a pancake and he's shoving it in his mouth. It’s disgusting. Do you want that for your president? I don't think so. Honestly, it's disgusting.”

The spat between Trump and Kasich heated up when the Ohio governor’s campaign pulled a picture of Trump eating his now-defunct brand of steaks.

“[email protected], we were looking for some Trump steaks for the governor, but no one seems to sell them anymore,” his campaign tweeted.

Kasich acknowledged to reporters that he was teaming up with Cruz because of his limited resources, a statement that merely provided fresh fodder for the reality TV star to highlight at his rally.

“Kasich’s going around begging people for money. He’s like a beggar. He’s begging,” said Trump, who often boasts that he’s self-funding his campaign. “He’s going around: ‘Please, can I have money? I want to continue onward, even though I’m one-for-43’ — I think it is. ‘Please, please.’”

Trump slammed the “fixed,” “rigged” system but likened himself to a boxer as he maintained that he will win the nomination on the first ballot.

“Knockout is first ballot, OK?” Trump said. “We’re gonna go on the first ballot. That’s what we count on.”

The real estate mogul argued that even if there were multiple ballots, there’s no way Cruz or Kasich could win the nomination at a contested convention. Cruz got blown out in New York last week, not winning a single delegate, and isn't poised to fare well Tuesday, he noted, and Kasich may end the Republican primary with a just single win — his home state of Ohio.

“Ladies and gentlemen, our new nominee is John Kasich. He’s won one state out of 50, and he’s gonna be — how do you do that?” Trump asked. “How do you do that?”
