five news. that is right, you heard that correctly. one of the candidates did not even vote, so remember, we ve got to believe in yourself, if you want others to follow suit. it s confidence, not narcissism. because every single voter counts, and here is the thing, it might just come back to yours. and on that note, i wish you a very good night. from all of our colleagues across the networks of nbc news, thank you for staying up late with me. i ll see you at the end of tomorrow. ow i want to start off tonight with cynthia playboy magazine, just an article, so did not worry, this is still a family program. in 1990, donald trump did a sit-down interview with playboy. he teased a future in american politics. there is something he said back then that we all probably should have taken a bit more seriously. it was just a year after the chinese government used a massive amount of military force to violently crackdown on pro democracy student protesters who had been occupying tia
not worry, this is still a family program. in 1998, donald trump in a sit-down interview with playboy. he teased a future in american politics. there is something he said back then that we all probably should have taken a bit more seriously. it was just a year after the chinese government used a massive amount of military force to violently crackdown on pro democracy student protesters who had been occupying tiananmen square in beijing. the chinese government declared martial law, and massacred hundreds of civilians. here was donald trump s take on that incident, one year later, and the pages of playboy. when the students poured into tiananmen square, the chinese government almost blew it. then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength. that shows you the power of strength. our country is, right now, perceived as weak. okay, at this point, people can be forgiven for not believing a lot of things donald trump says. they don t think he actually m
