Kentucky Forked Chicken: Donald Trump Mocked for Eating KFC With Utensils

Donald Trump eats fried chicken with a knife and fork and he's being ridiculed for it.

The Republican presidential nominee tweeted a photo of himself, silverware in hand, beside a bucket of KFC Monday while aboard his personal jumbo jet.

The response on Twitter was harsh and swift.

"No plastic knife & fork available on the plane to enjoy that bucket of dainty KFC? Or is that the Trump RV?" wrote @jfreewright.

These are just a few of the thousands of critical responses to Trump's preferred chicken-eating method, an onslaught that is not quite new to the billionaire.
