Donald Trump said he would be a "much different person" as president of the United States as compared to his persona as a Republican presidential candidate.
"I would be very enthusiastic, like I am right now, toward the country..We need spirit..We need a cheerleader," he said in an interview that aired on CBS' "Face the Nation" Sunday.
"President Obama's a bad cheerleader..I thought he would be a good cheerleader..I thought he'd be a great cheerleader actually," Trump added.
He said he thought he would still give rallies if he is elected president in 2016, but otherwise would "probably not talk as much."
He explained that he had to defend himself while "getting hit from 15 different sides" by the other candidates.
One thing he wouldn't change: His blunt style.
"Here's the problem with political correctness. It takes too long. We don't have time," he said.
As an example, he pointed to his use of the term "anchor babies" to discuss children born in the U.S. to immigrants who are in the country illegally.
The term is considered offensive by some in the Hispanic community, but Trump said
"we don't have time" for a longer definition that refers to the parents as undocumented.

Surely no one actually believes that.
