Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said in a Fox Business Network interview on Tuesday that he has no plans to change either his temperament or his campaign strategy. “I think that my temperament has gotten me here,” Trump said. “We beat a lot of people in the primaries and now we have one person left and we’re actually doing pretty well there, but we’ll see how it all comes out.” Though the candidate has faced a slew of criticism for a host of incidents in the past week, including battling with the Gold Star family of a slain Muslim-American soldier, he said he plans to remain the same candidate he’s been for months. Several national polls have shown Trump trailing Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton by a substantial margin, but Trump said he believes he only needs to keep “just doing what I’m doing.” He added, “I certainly don’t think it’s appropriate to start changing all of a sudden when you’ve been winning. I mean, I’ve beaten many people, and now we’re down to one. And we’ll see how it all works out, but I think it’s going to work out well.”
