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."
