Donald Trump: “Sometimes they say he doesn't act presidential. And I say, hey, look, great schools, smart guy, it's so easy to act…”

On the recordJuly 24, 2017
Sometimes they say he doesn't act presidential. And I say, hey, look, great schools, smart guy, it's so easy to act presidential. But that's not going to get it done. In fact, I said, it's much easier, by the way, to act presidential than what we're doing here tonight, believe me. And I said with the exception of the late, great, Abraham Lincoln, I can be more presidential than any president that's ever held this office. That I can tell you.
