Donald Trump did an interview with CNBC on Thursday.
Over the course of the interview, Trump unapologetically said -- three times -- that he's going to win or lose doing much the same thing he's doing now, even as he's currently losing badly.
WAPNER: I want to ask you about the rally last night in Florida that you reference where you called the president of the United States the founder of ISIS. You said it repeatedly. President Obama is the founder of ISIS, he's the founder, he founded ISIS. Do you think it's appropriate to call the sitting president of the United States the founder of a terrorist organization that wants to kill Americans?
...
TRUMP: Is there something wrong with saying that? Are people complaining that I said he was the founder of ISIS?
WAPNER: I’m wondering how you think that's going to play in some battleground states.
TRUMP: I don't know. Whatever it is it is. Look, all I do is tell the truth. I’m a truth teller. All I do is tell the truth. If at the end of 90 days I fall in short because I’m somewhat politically correct even though I’m supposed to be the smart one and even though I’m supposed to have a lot of good ideas, it's okay. I go back to a very good way of life. It's not what I’m looking to do. I think we're going to have a victory, but we'll see.
WAPNER: Let me ask you if I could quickly before we go, you mentioned earlier how polls were I believe in your words tightening yet the new NBC/Wall Street Journal/Marist has you trailing in battleground states such as Iowa, Ohio and Pennsylvania by wide amounts. How do you close that gap?
TRUMP: Just keep doing the same thing I’m doing right now. At the end it's either going to work or I’m going to, you know, I’m going to have a very, very nice long vacation.
