Donald Trump was asked during the debate about whether he has the right temperament to be president after he went on Twitter to inveigh against a former Miss Universe.

The Republican candidate denied he told people to look for a sex tape from the former beauty queen, a video that doesn’t seem to exist.

But he did say exactly that.

Pressed more about his controversial comments on Twitter, Trump defended himself.

“Tweeting happens to be a modern-day form of communication,” he said.

Trump added, “I’m not un-proud of it, to be honest with you.”
