Real-estate mogul Donald Trump hit presidential rival Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida) left and right during a Bloomberg Politics interview airing Monday.

Trump has repeatedly feuded with Rubio on the campaign trail, even going so far as to send him a case of Trump-branded water to taunt him for supposedly sweating too much.

But Trump's distaste for Rubio, who has surged in recent polls, was even clearer during his interview on Bloomberg's "With All Due Respect."

At one point, Trump even declared that he's "better looking" than Rubio.

Here's a list of Trump's latest Rubio insults:

  • "I think he's highly overrated. I think he's an overrated person. I don't think he's going to make it."
  • "He's nowhere in the polls. Personally, I don't think he's going to make it."
  • "I called him a lightweight. I said at one point he was a lightweight. And I don't mean to be insulting, but I do describe people somehow well. I describe Jeb Bush as a 'low-energy' individual, and unfortunately for him, that stuck. And it's true, he's a low-energy person. That doesn't make him a bad person."
  • "I've been very critical [of Rubio on illegal immigration.] He was a member of the 'Gang of Eight,' which basically wanted to have everybody come in and take over our country. All of a sudden he went down in the polls, and he immediately changed and got out. He's totally driven by what the public thinks.
  • "Marco doesn't show up to votes. He doesn't do things that you're supposed to do. He got elected senator. And the same thing happened to him in the Florida [statehouse], if you look. ... Two minutes after he had the top position, he was looking to run for [US] Senate. Then he runs for Senate, now he wants to run for president. Maybe I'm the last person to say this: Relax. Take it easy. Take it easy."
  • "I know a lot about Florida. I'm there. You saw the poll that came out today where I'm beating him and Bush and Carson by a lot in Florida. I know Florida better than they know Florida."
  • "I think he's a highly overrated person. I've called him a lightweight. I think he's a lightweight. I hope I'm wrong about that."
  • "I watched somebody on Joe's [Scarborough] show this morning and he's fawning over him. He says how handsome [Rubio] is. I don't know, I think I'm better looking than he is. Am I better looking than him?"
  • "He's probably a nice person. Another thing I didn't like about him, and I don't like about him: He should have been more loyal to Bush. I didn't know him at all. I was told that he would never run because Bush was his mentor. Bush really helped him. ... He was very, very disloyal to Bush. I don't like that."
