“He’s pretty young, I will say. He’s 17,” Trump said in an interview with Telemundo 51 of Miami. “But if they can do that, I’m all for it.” Asked for comment, Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung attacked NBC News.

“NBC News has lost its mind and clearly suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome.
