Speaking to Bash after the grand opening of Trump International Hotel, the GOP presidential nominee dismissed her question about why he isn't more concerned with campaigning in swing states.

"So to people who say you're taking time out of swing states to go do this, you say?" Bash asked.

"I say the following: You have been covering me for the last — long time. I did yesterday eight stops and three major speeches, and I've been doing this for weeks straight," Trump said.

Trump said he wanted to support his children at the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and he used the hotel as an example of how he can get things done under budget and ahead of schedule.

Trump will hit the campaign trail later Wednesday with a rally in North Carolina.
