Donald Trump says he doesn't cry because he'd rather 'get things done'
You'd think by now people would have run out of creative new questions to ask Donald Trump.
But David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting Network got all Barbara Walters on the Republican presidential hopeful in an interview clip posted Tuesday. He spared us all her folkloric "What kind of tree would you be?" but went with something similarly disarming: "Have you cried before?"
Trump answered with his trademark repetitive bluster: "No, I'm not a big crier. I like to get things done. I'm not a big crier. I'm not someone who goes around crying a lot."

If you do happen to be a human with normal human emotions who dares to shed a tear from time to time, don't worry, Trump totally respects you.
"I know plenty of people that cry," he said. "They're very good people."
