In a word—no.

“I didn’t know it was going to be quite that long, but she made a beautiful, you know, she made a very good speech,” Trump said in a lengthy telephone interview with CNN’s Don Lemon on Wednesday night. “No, I wasn’t uncomfortable — I was very happy. I would have normally left the stage and let her speak ... I thought it would be disrespectful to her if I left the stage. So, no, I wasn’t uncomfortable at all.”

“A very good speech.” Uh, sure, maybe. But whatever it was, it was beautiful.
