Trump: 'I have one of the great temperaments'

Donald Trump is pushing back on a key Democratic argument against him: that he's dangerous and too erratic to be commander in chief.

In an interview airing Sunday on ABC's "This Week," Trump claimed Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is the real candidate with the poor temperament.


"She's a very dishonest person. I have one of the great temperaments," Trump said. "I have a winning temperament. She has a bad temperament. She's weak."

"I have a temperament where I know how to win. She doesn't know how to win," he added.

Clinton has repeatedly criticized the New York real estate mogul and entertainer as "temperamentally unfit" to be president. In her acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, the former secretary of state said of her Republican rival: "A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons."

But Trump hit back, calling his campaign "flawless," while Clinton "lies a lot."

"You'll be writing books about this campaign. And yet, she's criticizing my campaign," Trump said. "Now, her campaign, she couldn't beat Bernie [Sanders], OK?," appearing to suggest that she wouldn’t have defeated Sanders without favoritism from the Democratic National Committee.
