Donald Trump is attributing his success in the Republican primary to his boisterous and oftentimes controversial style of campaigning, and said he probably wouldn’t have gotten this far if he had acted “presidential.”
“Overall, I have to be very happy with the outcome,” he said in an interview that aired Tuesday evening. “And I think if I didn’t conduct myself in the way I’ve done it, I don’t think I would have been successful.”
“Actually, if I were soft, if I were, you know, ‘presidential’ … okay, ‘presidential,’ in a way, it’s a bad word because there’s nothing wrong with being presidential, but if I would not have fought back the way I fought back, I don’t think I would’ve been successful,” he acted.
Trump made the remarks in a Fox interview with Megyn Kelly.
