naomi - // You left half of it out, SP. At the same interview he also said this, which is a valid response to such a question.
"Well all I can say is happy Mother's Day, and I had a great mom," Trump said. "I loved my mom and she loved me, which isn't hard — which is, I must tell you, probably not easy to do. But she was so good to me. She was so good.
"I couldn't do any wrong, which is a big problem. Maybe that's why I ended up the way I ended up, I don't know. I couldn't do any wrong in her eyes. And I had a great father too. Great guy. Very different types. But my mother was a terrific woman. And Melania's been a great mother to Barron, I will tell you that. Barron is growing up really beautifully. And she's been a great mother to Barron." //
It is a valid response - but in the same was as sp's quote should not be taken in isolation, yours should not either.
The fact that both form the same answer raises serious questions.
