While reminiscing about his success on election night at a rally Friday in Orlando, President-elect Donald Trump talked about winning Utah over “this character nobody ever saw before” — a clear reference to Independent challenger Evan McMullin, who was polling well at the time.
Someone in the crowd called out the name “Evan McMuffin,” which caused Trump to pause.
“That’s correct, that’s his name,” he said.
“He said Evan McMuffin, do you believe this?” Trump said to those who may not have heard the man. “I never heard of this guy before. Nobody did. And the polls said he’s even with Donald Trump.”
The crowd at Trump’s #ThankYouTour has a new name for @Evan_McMullin… Evan McMUFFIN!

It didn’t take long for McMullin to respond with a dig of his own against Trump Grille, which was a recent target of a harsh review by Vanity Fair:
.@realdonaldtrump, I hear Egg McMuffins taste a lot better than the steaks at the Trump Grill. True story? https://t.co/Vr8zXRthfs

Either way, all this talk about food was making social media users hungry! Here’s a quick snapshot of responses from Twitter:
All this Evan McMuffin business is making me hungry. Seriously.

Evan McMuffin, the man who was “supposed” to win Utah, but came in 3rd place.
I’m hungry, now.#McMuffin

Trump calls McMullin ‘McMuffin’ as insult. McMullin shoots back McMuffins tastier than Trump Grill. Me? I’m hungry for lunch now
