Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said he’s in the 2016 race to win it and not for self-glorification, of which he added he’s already had plenty.
Mr. Trump said he hasn’t given “even 1 percent of a thought” to getting out of the race.
“I’m not going anywhere,” he said Tuesday on CNN’s “New Day.” “I’m not in this to have self-glorification — I’ve had plenty of that. I don’t need that. I’m in it to make our country great again and right now, I’m leading, I’m winning. … I’m not getting out.”
Mr. Trump said he gave a “very honorable and honest answer” in response to a question on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
“I said sure, if I was doing terribly like some of these people, I wouldn’t stay in,” Mr. Trump said Tuesday. “I mean, who would stay in? But I’m not. I’m leading every single poll.”
