Donald Trump on Tuesday played a word association game on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” choosing one word to describe some of his competitors in the presidential race.
Trump called Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) “confused.” He then paused when asked about Sen. Cruz (R-TX), a rival Trump has only recently begun to criticize.
“I was gonna say ‘nasty.’ He’s not really nasty,” Trump said. “He’s been very nice. He goes on and off. I’ll say ‘nasty.'”
When he got to Hillary Clinton, he said the former secretary of state is “in a certain way, evil.” He then said that her husband, former President Bill Clinton, is “intelligent.”
And finally, Trump called himself “brilliant.”
