Donald Trump didn’t seem to care that he retweeted a quote from fascist dictator Benito Mussolini.
“What difference does it make whether it was Mussolini or someone else?” Trump said in response to a question on NBC’s Meet the Press. “Mussolini was Mussolini.”
The quote Trump retweeted was “it is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep.”

“It was a very interesting quote,” Trump said.
Host Chuck Todd asked if he wanted to be associated with a fascist.
“I want to be associated with interesting quotes,” the real estate mogul and GOP front-runner said.
