“I don’t care”, Trump responded.
The interview was similar to Trump and Pence’s first campaign appearance together on Saturday, in which Trump barely mentioned his running mate. He also opposed measures to set a timeline to withdraw troops, NBC News reported.
The Trump and Pence team was asked about their views on the instability and violence around the world, the Iraq War, and preventing foreign Muslims from temporarily entering the country, something Governor Pence did not initially support.
Pressed by Stahl, Trump said, “It’s a long time ago”.
Stahl said, “Yeah, but you’ve used that vote of Hillary’s that was the same as Governor Pence as the example of her bad judgment”. And on that score, Trump says he has already gotten important party approval for his choice of Pence.

Trump, your VP supported the war in Iraq. “We need toughness, we need strength”, says Donald Trump. Pence was frequently interrupted by Trump, a theme of the interview that was noted on social media. “But we have to take care of our vets”. Noting that Trump is “not a politician” and nor does he speak like one, Pence said, “He speaks from the heart”. “And Donald Trump, this good man, I believe, will be a great president of the United States”.
When asked by Stahl if Trump would listen to Pence, the presidential candidate replied: “Absolutely”.
“I promise you that when the circumstances arise where I have a difference on policy or on presentation, I can tell you in my heart, I know I would have no hesitation, were I privileged to be vice president, to walk into the president’s office, close the door, and share my heart”, Pence said.
“It’s obvious to people that our styles are different”. “One of the things I found out about this man is he appreciates candor”, he continued, prompting Trump to cut in: “I’d like him to if he thinks I was doing something wrong”.
