Trump admits he’s easily ‘seduced’ by bad people

Donald Trump has admitted that he’s easily seduced by "bad people" as long as they’re nice to him.

Donald Trump used his White House Easter lunch on Wednesday (2 April) to tell guests that he is easily seduced by flattery, even from people he knows are “bad.”

"When somebody’s nice to me, I love that person. Even if they’re bad people, I couldn’t care less," the 79-year-old told attendees.

The remarks came after Trump praised one of the guests present, before turning the conversation to his own weakness for compliments.

Footage was briefly uploaded to the White House website and YouTube before being removed.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
