"I don't want that to happen, but I have fans — we have an unbelievable bond." Trump then told Kelly, "Over your life, Megyn, you've been called a lot worse. Is that right, wouldn't you say? You know, you've had a life that's not been that easy." But Kelly did not answer Trump's question, instead shooting back, "It's not about me.
