GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump says he is “very angry” because he hates to see what’s happening to the country.

“One of the commentators said to me that [South Carolina Gov.] Nikki Haley, very nice woman, she said I’m an angry person,” Mr. Trump said at a rally in Florida Wednesday. “And they said to me, ’They said you [were] an angry person.’ “

“I thought, I said, I am,” he said. “I’m very angry. Because I hate what’s happening to our country — I am angry. I’m very angry.”

In the GOP response to President Obama’s State of the Union address Tuesday, Ms. Haley had warned against following “the siren call of the angriest voices” in anxious times, and later said Mr. Trump has contributed to what she called “irresponsible talk.”
