A reporter for the Christian Broadcasting Network asked Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in an interview posted Tuesday if he has ever cried before.

David Brody prefaced that doozy of an inquiry by telling Trump that this was his “Barbara Walters question.”

“I’m curious, have you cried before?” Brody asked Trump. “And if you have—has that been something that you’ve done in your life?”

“Well, that’s even beyond a Barbara Walters question. She has never asked me that,” Trump replied. “No, I’m not a big crier. I like to get things done. I’m not a big crier. I’m not somebody that goes around crying a lot. But I know people like that. I know plenty of people that cry. They’re very good people. But I have not been a big crier.”

Trump had previously been asked the same question earlier this month on Jimmy Fallon’s “The Tonight Show.” Trump told Fallon he’d cried when he was one year old.

    He cries every time he is held accountable for something. He cries that he will sue them.

    tl:dr

  5. What? No, no, no. That’s not the question you ask. You ask that one the guy on Twitter did.
