Anthony Bourdain is not one to beat around the bush. The man has said he’d like to see the pumpkin spice craze “drowned in its own blood,” for crying out loud.
So when the “Parts Unknown” host was asked if he’d consider breaking bread with Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump, Bourdain did not hold back.
“Absolutely f***ing not,” Bourdain told TheWrap.
Tell us how you really feel, man.
“I’ve been a New Yorker most of my life, [and] for better or worse Mr. Trump is a New Yorker,” Bourdain continued. “We know him well here. We’ve watched how he does business and we’ve watched him say things and then we’ve seen whether or not he did those things, we have seen how he treats the people he does business with. I would give the same answer that I would have given 10 years ago, when he was just as loathsome.”
Someone grab Trump some ice for that burn.
Earlier this year, Bourdain said he would like to grab a bite with Trump, just to ridicule him the entire time.
“I’d like to see him struggle with chopsticks and eat a well done f―-ing steak,” Bourdain told the New York Daily News.
For what it’s worth, Bourdain, who famously dined with President Barack Obama in Vietnam for last week’s season premiere, didn’t seem particularly eager to grab a bite with Hillary Clinton, either.
“Honestly, that’s not the business I’m in,” Bourdain told TheWrap. “I mean [Obama] kind of fell in our lap... it’s something I’m really grateful I did this time around but it was an extraordinary occurrence.”
In any case, congrats to Bourdain for delivering the tongue-lashing of the century to The Donald. We’re betting the candidate’s disturbing eating habits never grace Bourdain’s table.
