The Donald sez:

“Do you think Putin will be going to the Miss Universe Pageant in November in Moscow — if so, will he become my new best friend? I think that number one, I am a nice person. My microphone was terrible. I wonder, was it set up that way on purpose? My microphone, in the room they couldn't hear me, you know, it was going on and off. Which isn't exactly great. I wonder if it was set up that way, but it was terrible. It takes a little while to get the facts. You still don’t know the facts. It is a very, very important process to me. I love watching these poor, pathetic people (pundits) on television working so hard and so seriously to try and figure me out. They can't!”
