Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump speaks at the Trump Soho Hotel in New York on June 22. | Getty Trump: 'I'm going to try' to not speak ill of other Republicans

Donald Trump is “going to try” to abide by Ronald Reagan’s so-called 11th Commandment that one “shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican.” But the presumptive GOP nominee is making no promises, he told Pat Robertson during an interview aired Tuesday on “The 700 Club.”

“These are all going to be your troops,” the longtime televangelist said, to which Trump responded, “Yeah.”


As far as whether he would abide by the commandment handed down 50 years ago by the then-California gubernatorial candidate and future president, Trump was noncommittal.

“Well, I’m going to try. I’m going to try,” Trump responded, as Robertson laughed, remarking that it was “tough for you.”

Trump continued, “With you, I cannot tell a lie, right? I cannot tell a lie. I’d feel very guilty.”

“But I will say this — look, you know, I’ve gotten more votes than anybody in the history of the Republican primaries, and I had 17 people,” Trump said, referring to himself and his 16 primary rivals. “You know, others had two or three people, so it is much easier to get. Got almost 14 million votes in the primary system, which is a record. Won 37 states. [He actually won 36.] We’ve had tremendous support, but every once in a while you have somebody who doesn’t want to support,” he remarked.

“I can’t promise you that I’ll be treating that person really, really well, but I will try,” Trump said. “I’ll think about you every time, OK?”
