Trump said in Iowa Friday that the press misrepresented his comments, calling the coverage “so dishonest.”
“I don’t throw babies out. I love babies,” Trump said.
When the baby cried, Trump initially said, “Don’t worry about that baby.” But as the crying continued, Trump said “Actually, I was just kidding. You can get that baby out of here.” Trump still appeared to be joking.
Trump said Friday that everyone at the event was laughing and having a good time. He joked that the crying hit operatic levels. “We can take that baby to training school and it will be the next great Pavarotti,” he said
