Asked When He Became a Republican, Trump Likens Himself to Reagan

TRUMP: "I don't think they like me very much. I'll tell you what. I've evolved on many issues over the years. Do you know who else has? Ronald Reagan evolved on many issues. And I am pro-life. And if you look at the question, I was in business. They asked me a question as to pro-life or choice. And I said if you let it run, that I hate the concept of abortion. I hate the concept of abortion. And then since then, I've very much evolved. And what happened was friends of mine years ago were going to have a child and it was going to be aborted. And it wasn't aborted. And that child today is a total superstar. A great, great child. And I saw that. And I saw other instances. And I am very, very proud to say that I am pro-life. As far as being a Republican is concerned, I come from a place, New York City, which is virtually, I mean, it is almost exclusively Democrat. And I have really started to see, some of the negatives as an example, and I have a lot of liking for this man, but the last number of months of his brother's administration were a catastrophe. And unfortunately, those few months gave us President Obama. And you can't be happy about that."
