Krauthammer on Trump: His Campaign Is Based on ‘Believe Me’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

BAIER: "Do you think the late-night Twitter thing sometimes you go over the --" 
TRUMP: "Probably. But the ultimate -- You know what, so I am. I was going to mention Jeb, but I refuse to do it. When you try to be somebody, when you try to be somebody that you're not, let's say I make a statement and he tries to change -- can't do that. He's a good man. You can't do that. You got to be yourself. And I'm being myself. So if I do a tweet late at night because I don't sleep that much because I'm thinking about a lot of things, now I'm thinking about this I can't believe I'm a politician, can you believe this? I'm a politician, all my life I've disrespected politicians now I have to say I guess I'm a politician, but I think we're going to do some great things, we're going to have victory and I really believe that once I'm there I think it's going to be something that will be so special --" 
BAIER: "Charles?" 
KRAUTHAMMER: "That's the theme of his campaign. Believe me. How you going to build a wall --  Believe me. 'I'll build it, I'll come in under budget it will be a beautiful wall.' It will come in at half of what people say. China, I'll defeat China. How you going to do it? Believe me, I'll do it. America, I'm going to bring in the most jobs in the history of mankind. How you going to do it? Believe me. He's running a campaign on belief and as you said in your question, a lot of it revolves around the fact that not just he's been a success in business, but he's been a personality on television for 14 years, with a persona is, a guy in charge, a guy in command. And it carried over into this campaign. That's why I think his numbers are high. I'm not sure that can actually last, but I've been wrong before about him."
