Donald Trump on Wednesday said that it’s unlikely that he’ll change his unconventional campaigning style now that he’s about to be officially nominated as the Republican presidential nominee.

During an interview on Fox News, Brett Baier asked Trump if he was pivoting toward being a “controlled presidential candidate.”

“I don’t think so. I want to be myself,” Trump replied. “It got me here.”

He added that if he used a teleprompter at one of his campaign rallies, “I think you’d probably lose most of them by the time I was finished.” Though Trump said he’d likely use a teleprompter at the Republican convention.

    If you don’t rev up the crazy until it redlines, the wild-eyed psychotics with foam-flecked lips who attend your Bund rallies will get bored and leave? I know that doesn’t ring any alarm bells with you, Donzy. It should. The denizens who populate your campaign flash mob aren’t representative of the electorate. Not even close.

  2. “If i used a teleprompter at my rallies…”?

    Trumpet HAS used teleprompters at rallies where he’s had to stick to a script.

    I guess he’s counting on “democracy” (aka voter suppression) to make the difference :fist:

    Thank goodness. Some of us had been concerned early on that you might try and be, well, you know … presidential and all (like that could happen, but stranger things have). Thank you, Donald, for helping us out this way. I mean, I think Hillary will wipe the floor with your spanx-stuffed butt either way, but the more “you” you are, the better. Cheers, dude.

  4. Obviously I do not like this man Trump at all…but there’s this little part of me that…ha ha ha…just loves him.

    (I appreciate his destruction of the R-party…with such style, such flair, such words, such tweets…it’s huge!)
