The presumptive Republican nominee for President welcomed the Fox News anchor into Trump Tower for the interview.

That was very tough, because its unnatural.
When Im wounded, I go after people hard.
I try and un-wound myself, he said.
Ive been saying during this whole campaign that Im a counterpuncher you understand that.
Im responding, he says.
I then respond times maybe 10 I dont know.
I respond pretty strongly.
In just about all cases, Ive been responding [to] what they do to me.
He praised Kelly for organizing the one-on-one interview.
For me, I would not have done that.
I dont see that as a positive; I think its a negative for me.
[Kelly: Many times.]
After a silence, he said the insult was not the most horrible thing.
Over your life, Megyn, youve been called a lot worse, wouldnt you say?
Youve had a life thats not been that easy.
Its not about me, its about the messaging to young girls and to other women, Kelly responded.
Who runs Trumps Twitter?
At night, Trump personally tweets.
During campaign hours, he has staffers he will call out a tweet to.
He looks them over and approves of any exclamation points before theyre sent off.
But Trump said he doesnt believe he can make real changes without being elected.
