“Mr. President, you’ve said before that torture works,” she stated. “You’ve praised Russia, you’ve said you want to ban some Muslims from coming to America. you suggested there should be punishment for abortion. for many people in Britain, those sound like alarming beliefs. what do you say to our viewers at home who are worried about some of your views and worried about you becoming the leader of the free world?”
Trump responded by first turning to May and joking, “this was your choice of a question.”
