"He would send me press clippings about me that he would just sign 'Donald Trump,'" she said. "And he called me from time to time to compliment a segment. I didn't know why he was doing that. And then when he announced that he was running for president, it became more clear."

"But I can't be wooed," she continued. "I was never going to love him, and I was never going to hate him."

Trump unleashed a series of verbal attacks at Kelly after the journalist questioned him about some of his past controversial statements about women. The presidential hopeful claimed that the questions were unfair.
