Trump on Tues. morning in an interview on CNN’s “New Day” proclaimed in that he’s “the most fabulous whiner” when confronted with an opinion piece in that blamed him using the same label.
Donald Trump stuck to his guns on Tuesday, telling CNN’s Chris Cuomo he didn’t do anything wrong by saying blood was coming out of Megyn Kelly’s “wherever”. But Trump, as Trump always reminds us, is leading in all the polls. “I’ve been working with government all my life – that’s what I do”.

Trump’s antics throughout final week’s debate haven’t but harm him in polls, nor has the struggle with moderator Megyn Kelly. “He is the one who has to apologize to ladies”, Trump stated.

Trump said if he were president, the Iran deal would have been “a hundred times better”. “The abortion aspect of Planned Parenthood should not be funded”.
