Getty Trump: Bush, Graham made a pledge

Presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump said two of his now-vanquished challengers, Jeb Bush and Lindsey Graham, made pledges to support the eventual nominee — and their decisions not to endorse him were “a question of honor.”

“Jeb Bush signed a pledge — a binding pledge,” Trump said in a pre-taped interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press.” “Lindsey Graham signed a binding pledge that they would endorse. That they would support and endorse. That's what it says. Now they're breaking. You know, that's a question of honor.”


In the interview airing Sunday, Trump also said he was “blindsided” by House Speaker Paul Ryan’s announcement last week that he wasn’t ready to endorse the real estate mogul.

“I was blindsided a little bit, because he spoke to me three weeks ago, and it was a very nice call, a very encouraging call,” Trump said. “And then all of a sudden, he gets on and he does this number. So I'm not exactly sure what he has in mind.”
