Donald Trump says he's just like everyone else, 'fighting for survival'

After being described by Megyn Kelly as being "so powerful now," Donald Trump told the Fox News anchor he doesn't "view myself as that," and is actually "a person that, like everybody else, is fighting for survival."

The exchange, released Monday, was a preview of Trump's one-on-one interview with Kelly that will air Tuesday on Fox. The presumptive Republican nominee also said he views himself as a "messenger" for the "millions and millions of people that have been disenfranchised from this country."

His son, Donald Trump Jr., was a guest on Monday night's Kelly File, and said his father is "finally saying things that everyone wants to say. He's giving them a voice again." He also said his dad is "an aggressive guy, he's a tough guy," but he believes his tone will change before too long. "He can be as charismatic as anyone," Trump Jr. said, "but there also comes a time when you actually have to say, enough is enough." Catherine Garcia
