Donald Trump has been known to poke fun at his fellow Republican candidates, often by resorting to low blows about their appearance or energy levels. For his latest trick, Trump actually went the good old fashioned pranking route, sending a "care package" to opponent Marco Rubio.

The special delivery, which arrived at Sen. Rubio's Washington campaign office on Monday, included a case of "Trump Ice Natural Spring Water" (emblazoned, of course, with Trump's face), two "Make America Great Again" towels, a Trump 2016 bumper sticker, and a note that taunted, "Since you're always sweating, we thought you could use some water. Enjoy!"
