 "Trump wants to 'hit' Democrats for disparaging him")
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, after hearing speeches at the ongoing Democratic National Convention (DNC), said he wanted to "hit a number of those speakers so hard, their heads would spin."
The Republican nominee zoomed in on one speaker especially, though he did not mention his name, CNN reported.
"I was going to hit one guy in particular, a very little guy," Trump said on Thursday at a campaign rally in Davenport, Iowa.
"I was going to hit this guy so hard his head would spin, he wouldn't know what the hell happened," CNN quoted Trump as saying.
The real estate mogul said this individual "came out of nowhere" and said had worked with Trump in the past.
"He made deals with me. 'Will you help me with this? Would you make this deal and solve the problem?' I solved the problem," Trump said.
