Donald Rumsfeld says Donald Trump has 'touched a nerve in our country'
Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld called the 2016 presidential election "amazing" and quite different from the other cycles he has seen in an interview Monday with Today. Though Rumsfeld successfully dodged Matt Lauer's question about his personal feelings for Donald Trump, he did highlight Trump's surprising run.
"I see someone who has touched a nerve in our country," Rumsfeld said. "He's caused people to respond in a way that most politicians have not been able to do."
