Donald Trump: ‘I’m not being braggadocious … I’m the only one that matters’
Remember when Donald Trump was at pains to point out that he was really quite humble?
In his latest TV interview – so many highlights, so little time – he lets us know EXACTLY how humble.
Here are our favourite bits, lovingly put together by @atrupar.

Maybe Fox News is actually doing us a service here. The good old David Frost approach, maybe?
If an interviewer is sympathetic and he feels liked, he then gets comfortable and often says dumber, even more egotistical things than usual
