Even Donald Trump's family thinks that he should be acting a bit more presidential on the campaign trail. In an interview with People magazine, the Republican presidential frontrunner admits that his wife, Melania, and daughter, Ivanka, both "beg" him be more restrained — but he says he has good reason not to be.
"Sometimes when you have to be very tough with somebody who's being tough with you, you can't be so presidential," Trump says. "I think it works to my advantage most of the time."
