As for Americans who expressed fear of his administration, Trump told CBS: “I would tell them, ‘Don’t be afraid, absolutely. ... Don’t be afraid. We are going to bring our country back. But certainly, don’t be afraid.’”

“I'll conduct myself in a very good manner,” he said, noting that he will still use harsh rhetoric if it’s best for the country.

That, he said, “depends on what the situation is—sometimes you have to be rougher. I say it very proudly: It’s going to be America first. It’s not going to be what we’re doing. ... Sometimes you need a certain rhetoric to get people motivated.”
