Trump stepped up with his claims during an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper on Sunday, while commenting on the “Benghazi case” hearing in Congress, where Hillary Clinton testified.
"The level of hatred between Republicans and Democrats was unbelievable. The level of — I've never seen anything like it," he said. “I'm going to unify. This country is totally divided. Barack Obama has divided this country unbelievably.”
Answering the question if the beginning of “bipartisanship era” in the US is possible, Trump said he was "absolutely" convinced of it, pointing out he would play a great role in this process:
"I will be a great unifier for our country."
Prior to this interview, Trump has made some scandalous claims during his presidential run. For instance, he promised to build a wall on a Mexican border if elected, and claimed that Iraq and Libya were better off with their dictatorial rulers.
The former real-estate mogul is now a leading candidate from GOP with 32 percent of support among Americans, according to recent polls.
