Trump said critics had inaccurately predicted the failure of his Oval Office bid several times during the GOP primaries.

“Don’t forget, when I lost Wisconsin, it was over for Trump,” he said. "Except for one problem: I then went on a very good run."

“I’ve gotten here in a landslide,” the Republican nominee added. "So we’ll see what happens. I am who I am.”
