Donald Trump doesn’t think his retweet of someone calling<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Megyn Kelly a “bimbo” was that bad — he says she's probably “been called a lot worse.”
In a much-hyped interview with the Fox News host — after nearly a year of slamming her — Trump acknowledged his attacks on<span style="color: Red;">*</span>her, but stopped short of apologizing.
During the<span style="color: Red;">*</span>FOX Broadcasting special<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Megyn Kelly Presents,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Trump<span style="color: Red;">*</span>told Kelly that he expected she had gotten some pretty nasty tweets from his supporters when the two of them were in the middle of their spat.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>But he chalked it up to fans just showing their loyalty.
Kelly responded that it wasn't just supporters who Trump retweeted.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Over the past nine months the Fox reporter has<span style="color: Red;">*</span>been attacked repeatedly by Trump himself, as well as his followers via Twitter.
“You would be amazed at the ones I don’t retweet,” Trump said.
“Bimbo?” Kelly asked, referring to tweets that had appeared on Trump's Twitter<span style="color: Red;">*</span>timeline calling her a bimbo.
“Well that was a retweet, yeah. Did I say that?” Trump asked.
“Many times,” Kelly said.
“Oh, okay excuse me,” Trump said. “Not the most horrible thing … Over your life Megyn, you’ve been called a lot worse. Isn’t that right? Wouldn’t you say?”
Trump also shared some insight into how his own<span style="color: Red;">*</span>tweets get produced. During the day he dictates his tweets to staffers — right down to the punctuation — but in the evenings it’s all him.
Despite saying that retweeting gets<span style="color: Red;">*</span>him into trouble, Trump retweeted his supporters as the interview (which was pre-taped) played.
At end of the interview, he tweeted a congratulations to Kelly.
Well, that is it. Well done Megyn --- and they all lived happily ever after! Now let us all see how "THE MOVEMENT" does in Oregon tonight!

Trump also touched (lightly) on his emotional side after Kelly asked if he had ever been emotionally hurt by someone.
Trump said that his brother’s death was the “hardest thing for me to take, that was very tough.”
But Kelly pressed on and repeated her question.
Trump said that he couldn’t think of anything specifically but he would think about it and get back to her.
“When I’m wounded, I go after people hard and I try to unwound myself,” he said.
