Trump: ‘Everybody Is Fighting To Be Tougher than Me on Immigration’

‘They condemn practically everything I say and then they come to my side’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

 

BRZEZINSKI: "Almost every high ranking member of the Republican party and candidates they are all condemning your plan and your comments. Do you see what's happening?"

TRUMP: "They condemn practically everything I say and then they come to my side. They were condemning the wall, they were condemning illegal immigration, they were condemning all of the things I've been espousing."

BRZEZINSKI: "But Donald -- Donald."

TRUMP: "I see a couple of people that said they would come out. Not everybody has condemned it if you look at it. I don't want to get into names. Not everybody has condemned if you want to be a specific about it. But if you look at illegal immigration, and the wall and the strengthening borders and things we have to do for safety of our country, everybody was against me. I took heat like nobody did. This made like baby stuff the first two weeks when I announced I was running for president. Now everybody is fighting to be tougher than me on immigration."
