President Donald Trumppromised thebiggest tax cuts since Reagan, insisted his own tax returns are good, and blasted MSNBC as bad people. All in all, a standard, if smiley, interview on Fox News Channel tonight.

Ive always heard a tax return was a sacred kind of thing, Trump told Jesse Watters, the Fox News Watters World host who landed the exclusive pre-taped interview prior to Trumps Nashville rally Wednesday.

Asked to respond to Rachel Maddows reveal of a portion of his 2005 tax returns, Trump said, Theyre bad people, theres something wrong with them. He added, All of my tax returns are good. Watters didnt ask for proof.

On the subject of funny-haired Rand Paul, Trump said, I like him. Hes become a friend of mine. Its hard to believe I ridiculed him.

Fox News had already released a snippet of the interview the best bit, it turns out, in which Trump said hed fire Alec Baldwin over Chuck Schumerand Jeff Zucker.I think the Alec Baldwin situation is not good, the president said.

A few other responses, condensed:

Barack Obama? Very nice to me personally but his people havent been nice.

The Wall? Some great designs coming in.

Kellyanne Conway: Very nice woman.

Hillary Clinton: Disappointed.

Vladimir Putin: I dont know him but certainly he is a tough cookie.

Elizabeth Warren: Craziness and anger. Pocahontas would not be proud of her.

Bill OReilly: Dont kid yourself, hes a talented guy.

Jesse Watters: Tremendous future, tremendous potentialAnd honestly youve been so nice to me that this iswhy I turned down the biggest shows on television and here I am, Watters World.
