Trump: Jorge Ramos ‘Was Ranting and Raving Like a Madman’

‘He was totally out of line last night’

LAUER: “Let’s get right to Donald Trump on the phone. Mr. Trump, good morning to you.”

TRUMP: “Good morning, Matt.”

LAUER: “Good to talk to you. So this confrontation last night, Jorge Ramos has been an outspoken critic of your immigration policy. We can debate at length whether he should have waited his turn to ask that question. But you did tell him to sit down repeatedly, and then threw in a ‘go back to Univision’ for good measure. Do feuds like this, Donald, work for you? Do you think this helps with your supporters?”

TRUMP: “Well, I don't know. Obviously, I have very big support because I’m leading in every poll by double digits and, you know, there is a movement going on, there is all silent majority thing happening. And it's very impressive to see. I will tell you, he was totally out of line last night. I was asking and being asked a question from another reporter. I would have gotten to him quickly. He stood up and started ranting and raving like a madman. Frankly, he was out of line. Most people -- in fact, most newspaper reports said I handled it very well. He was totally, absolutely out of line.”
