Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said Wednesday that he listens to a lot of people, their comments go through his brain, and he does what he believes is correct.

CNN’s Don Lemon asked Trump about comments his wife, Melania, made to People magazine.

“He is who he is,” she was quoted by the magazine. “Even if you give him advice, he will maybe take it in, but then he will do it the way he wants to do it. You cannot change a person. Let them be. Let them be the way they are.”

Lemon asked Trump for his thoughts on the remark.

“Well, I think it’s probably true,” Trump said.

“I have my own mind. I do listen to a lot of people, and then it goes through that,” Trump said, motioning to his head. “And I do what I think is right. And I think what she also means is that I’m very open to listening to lot of ideas and a lot of different people.”
