Trump: I guess I’ll have to get used to Clinton’s ‘shouting’

GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Wednesday morning bemoaned the “shouting” of his Democratic counterpart, Hillary Clinton, after accusing her of playing the “woman card.”

“Well I haven’t quite recovered — it’s early in the morning — from her shouting that message,” Trump responded

“I know a lot of people would say, ‘You can’t say that about a woman.’ Because of course a woman doesn’t shout. But the way she shouted that message was not … that’s the way she said it,” Trump said. “I guess I’ll have to get used to a lot of that over the next four or five months.”

However, when pressed in the MSNBC interview about whether he thinks Clinton’s Democratic rival, Bernie Sanders, also shouts his message, Trump pivoted to the content of the Vermont senator’s stump speech.

“Well Bernie Sanders has a message that’s interesting, I’m going to be taking a lot of things that Bernie’s said and reusing them,” Trump said. “I can get some very good material.”

“When he said ‘bad judgement’ I said, ‘sound bite!'” Trump said, referring to a feisty exchange between Sanders and Clinton earlier this month when the senator questioned Clinton’s judgement.
