“A friend of mine once said that I was the most persecuted person in the history of our country,” said Trump at the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit in Tampa, Florida, on Saturday.

“I never thought of it that way. I never had time. I was always fighting these people that were trying to persecute me,” he added.

“If I stayed home, if I announced that I was not going to run for office, the persecution of Donald Trump would immediately stop, but that’s what they want me to do. And you know what? There’s no chance I do that,” Trump exclaimed.
