Donald Trump on the red carpet at the 2016 Time 100 Gala: "Nobody has told me to act more presidential."_  by [Katie Reilly](https://time.com/author/katie-reilly/)  ## Katie Reilly Apr 26, 2016 9:09 PM UTC  by [Katie Reilly](https://time.com/author/katie-reilly/)  ## Katie Reilly Apr 26, 2016 9:09 PM UTC Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump, who was [named one of TIME’s 100 most influential people](http://time.com/4302104/donald-trump-2016-time-100/) last week, is set to attend the TIME 100 gala in New York City on Tuesday night, briefly stepping off the campaign trail as results come in from [the five states voting Tuesday](http://time.com/4307230/acela-primary-super-tuesday-iv-maryland-delaware-pennyslvania-primary/). Trump, who is hoping for a sweep in the northeastern states, is also [scheduled to host an event](http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/us/elections/election-2016.html) Tuesday night at Trump Tower in New York, where he [won the primary last week](http://time.com/4299356/new-york-primary-results-hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders-donald-trump-ted-cruz/). Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island are all voting Tuesday. Trump’s rival Ted Cruz, who was [also among the TIME 100 honorees](http://time.com/4302097/ted-cruz-2016-time-100/), was campaigning in Indiana on Tuesday. John Kasich, the Ohio governor who is also still running for the Republican nomination, was scheduled to attend a fundraiser in Indiana. ## Transcript We have had no pressure to act more presidential. Look, we started off with 17 people, all very prominent, mostly senators and governors. And now we're really way ahead of a couple left. And it shouldn't even be a couple, they should drop out because frankly they have no path to victory. So, no, nobody's told me to act more presidential that I can tell you. I think we've gotta keep it the way it is, at least for a while. So you don't, sorry. At least for a while. So you don't plan on changing anything? No, not at all. We have a tremendously successful campaign. It's being talked about all over the world. We've beaten governors, senators, people with great talent, and Great intellect. We've beaten them all and here we are, at Time, so we're very happy about it. No, we're doing really well. It's been a great campaign. Thank you very much. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4308494/pennsylvania-connecticut-primary-results-time-100-gala-donald-trump/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4308494/pennsylvania-connecticut-primary-results-time-100-gala-donald-trump/"},"headline":"Donald Trump to Spend Primary Night at TIME 100 Gala","datePublished":"2016-04-26T21:09:33.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-05T08:50:16.556Z","description":"He's looking to sweep five elections being held Tuesday","url":"https://time.com/4308494/pennsylvania-connecticut-primary-results-time-100-gala-donald-trump/","keywords":["TIME 100","2016 Election","TIME 100","TIME 100 Gala"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt10fac666c89f5035/698890baab6d770c7d6a96dd/donald-trump-time-100.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Katie Reilly","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/katie-reilly/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt10fac666c89f5035/698890baab6d770c7d6a96dd/donald-trump-time-100.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Donald Trump Campaigns In Delaware","caption":"Donald Trump Campaigns In Delaware","creditText":"Alex Wong/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-100/","name":"TIME 100"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4308494/pennsylvania-connecticut-primary-results-time-100-gala-donald-trump/","name":"Donald Trump to Spend Primary Night at TIME 100 Gala"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"2016 Time 100 Gala: Donald Trump on the Red Carpet","description":"Donald Trump on the red carpet at the 2016 Time 100 Gala: \"Nobody has told me to act more presidential.\"","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/YP93aLhr/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2016-04-27T00:43:22.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/YP93aLhr.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4308494/pennsylvania-connecticut-primary-results-time-100-gala-donald-trump/","duration":"PT50S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4308494/pennsylvania-connecticut-primary-results-time-100-gala-donald-trump/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
