Real estate tycoon Donald Trump insisted Tuesday that he was nowhere near ending his 2016 White House bid, despite slipping a bit in some polls.

"Not even a thought, not even 1 percent of the thought," Trump said during a phone interview broadcast on CNN's "New Day."

"Why would I get out?" Trump asked, pointing out that he is still leading polls for the Republican presidential nomination. "I'm not going anywhere."

Trump has suggested in several interviews that he may end his White House bid if he dropped into the low single digits, like several other candidates in the field.

"The media is so dishonest, it's so disgusting," Trump said of how his remarks were interpreted in coverage of his campaign. "I'm not getting out. I'm going to win."

Immediately following the interview, Trump retweeted two supporters who called CNN’s Chris Cuomo and his questions “pathetic.”

"@LindaRicker6: My choice @realDonaldTrump just finished a great interview on CNN. Pathetic questions from Cuomo but Trump cleared the air."— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 6, 2015

"@Lisa_Steen: seriously Cuomo hates DonaldTrump he was a pathetic interviewer AS USUAL! Please don't go anywhere Mr Trump AMERICA NEEDS YOU"— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 6, 2015

Trump, who has led in the polls for more than two months, saw his lead shrink in the early voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire in polling released Sunday.

The businessman saw his 16-point lead over his nearest rival get cut to 5 points in New Hampshire, according to NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist polling.

He is also leading by just 5 points in Iowa, besting neurosurgeon Ben Carson there 24 to 19 percent, compared to a 7-point lead last month.

Let me drop out because I’m leading by a mile... Liberals... Black is white. Up is down.

[Arm_Bears]

The Left/MSM and GOP-e hoping that saying something will make it come true.

Pathetic.

[onyx]

Precisely!
MSM idiots.

[onyx]

You’re right. Like the “power of suggestion,” LOL.
How about, we suggest y’all STFU...LOL.

[jsanders2001]

The libs are furious at the thought all the evil accomplishments of the Obama administration might become undone if Cruz or Trump took the WH...

[JLAGRAYFOX]

The Republican (E) RINOs & the idiot Obamabot media....just don’t get Trump!!! He has them in knots and plays them like a fiddle. The reason he keeps bringing up, that, if his poll numbers drop....he will remove himself from the POTUS race is because that input from him, gives the GOP (e) RINO losers the hope to stay in the race....which serves only to strenghtem the “Trump” postion!!! Trump has more brains in his pinky finger, then the entire Republican & Democrat Parties, combined, including Obama & Clinton!!!

[Guenevere]

Thank-you Mr. Trump......
I want you to stay!

[Uversabound]

Oh thank goodness. If he drops out Americas are hostages again. Did you hear all the other GOPs making BS comments yesterday? I am angry at the lot of them save Trump, Carson.

I like none of the rest. Really dont like some of them(Jeb, Jeb & Jeb)

[McGruff]

Wishful thinking on his enemies part. They are scared *less that he make actually win.

[RoosterRedux]

Trump's in it to win it. And win it he will.

Go Trump!

[onyx]

Yeah, you’re right.
I want him to start smash mouthing Hillary now.

[onyx]

Absolutely!

[onyx]

YES!

[onyx]

Yep and I’m just about ALL IN now.

The Lame Stream Media will say anything, print anything and do anything if they have an inkling they can bring Trump down a peg or two. Media coverage seems to have dwindled significantly since the last debate and the hit pieces just keep coming. It’s going to get dirty.

HOORAY Trump

marxist meme programming is not working…more drones need to be polled…more drivers needed to bus them to the voting booths...

[AC86UT89]

Seems like every time I open a story about Trump these days its read about some MSM hack asking him when he’s going to drop out.

Wishful thinking? Maybe, but I also think it’s the MSM creating the impression that he’s not serious and that his underlying support is weak.

Instead of saying “Oh I’ll just go back to running my business”, I wish he would say “I’m not dropping out. Not only am I in the lead, but America is in a lot of trouble. Let’s spend the rest of this interview talking about how I’m going to fix it when I’m President.”

When every interview is the same questions is how you can tell they are trying to push a false narrative. They do it all the time.

[mmichaels1970]

Have they asked Hillary the same question?
