"Well, I can tell you this, the pressure that has got to be on President-elect Trump is immense," Collins replied. "The enormity of the job ahead of him, and so I would have to say if this is his way of relaxing, God bless him."

Besides, Collins said, America wants to "continue to see a real human being in the White House." "It's Donald Trump being Donald Trump," Collins said. "You don't want this stuff all bottled up."
