Donald Trump is mad at me. He thinks I’ve treated him “very badly.” But he returned my call on Friday night on his way to a rally in Colorado and agreed to do a lightning round on the Democratic convention. He began, naturally, by bragging about his convention ratings and bounce, but then we got down to specifics.

On Michael Bloomberg’s speech suggesting Trump is not “sane” and mocking him as a con man:

“A guy who didn’t have the guts to run for president. Little Michael. He doesn’t know anything about me. But he never had the guts to run. He probably wished he did but he didn’t. He spent millions of dollars on polling but he was missing one thing: guts. Little Michael.”

On President Obama calling him “not really a facts guy” and a businessman who left a trail of lawsuits and people who were unpaid and felt cheated:

“Obama gave a good speech but not nearly as good as the press would have you believe. Whether it’s good or bad, the press will say it’s fantastic. In many ways, I like Obama. It’s hard to define. There’s something about him I do like. I’m embarrassed to admit it. I give him a lot of credit. It’s very unique and very hard to do and I give him tremendous credit. He became a two-term president of the United States. He’s got some quality going.”

On Bill Clinton’s reminiscences about his storybook romance with “that girl,” Hillary:

“He left out the most exciting chapter by far.”

On Michelle Obama, who said you can’t boil down the issues a president faces to 140 characters:

“She gave a very good speech.”

On Chelsea’s introduction of her mother:

“I thought Chelsea was excellent. I thought she was very good. She’s very friendly with Ivanka. They like each other and they should continue to be friends. My children were the stars of my convention.”
