Testy News Conference Exchange Puts Donald Trump’s Quirks on Display
It was Donald J. Trump at his neediest, pleading with the television anchor in front of him to acknowledge a poll that, he said, showed that Hispanics really do love him. “You saw that, right?” he asked. “Did you see it? Wait. Did you see it?”
.. But when a reporter from MSNBC, Kasie Hunt, spoke up for Mr. Ramos, asking Mr. Trump if he would let him return to the room, the candidate began to re-evaluate his heavy-handed approach. Mr. Ramos was allowed back in.
“Go ahead, Jorge,” he said, belying his earlier claim of not knowing Mr. Ramos.
This time, when Mr. Ramos questioned him, Mr. Trump showed new and sudden patience. His sarcasm eventually receded, his voice fell an octave, and a smile came over his face.
