Republican grandstander Donald Trump is more than happy to attack his fellow Republicans on Twitter, Instagram, the campaign trail, and live television. But running attack ads? Heavens no!
Speaking to CNN in Nashville, Tennessee, Trump said he'd like to avoid attack ads during the primary election. "I just want to talk about my accomplishments. I'm not looking to attack anybody," he said. "I would rather have positive TV ads. Absolutely."
He also explained that so far, he hasn't felt the need to run any television ads at all, because he gets so much news coverage already: "It is all news, all the time, all Trump, all the time," he said. So the self-proclaimed billionaire is "saving a lot of money" by holding off for now.
