Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said Monday that he hadn’t “even started” going after Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton yet, saying his recent jab at her husband’s infidelity had succeeded in quieting the couple.
“I’m winning against Hillary one-on-one,” Trump said during an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” set to air tonight, touting his latest poll numbers. “And I haven’t even started on her yet, although last week I did a little bit. But we haven’t even started.”
Trump claimed success after attacking Bill Clinton last week by bringing up the former president’s past infidelity. Trump made controversial remarks last year about Clinton that were decried as vulgar and sexist and the former Secretary of State’s camp derided them as degrading to women.
She came out with a little bit of a statement about me,” Trump said of Hillary Clinton, “and I came out with a very big statement about her and Bill, and she stopped talking about me all of the sudden.”
The real estate mogul also said his and Clinton’s candidacies may have a positive effect on voting in the United States if they high turnout at the ballot box.
“That’s a good thing, because people don’t vote that much in this country,” Trump said.” So that would be an amazing thing if that happened.(BEN GITTLESON)
