Following a pair of GOP debates on CNN in which Donald Trump figured prominently (yes, even the earlier debate in which Trump was not present began with a series of Trump questions), Trump fielded a question on MSNBC’s Morning Joe about how he thought he was treated.

“Well I thought I was treated fairly — I thought I was on too much. I felt badly for everybody else. Every question had to do with me. Even the first characters, I mean, everything was about Trump. And then they go into this debate and there was split screens all over the place. I’ve never seen anything like it. It was a little bit unfair to a lot of other people, frankly. But, I think, from my standpoint, I was treated fairly.”
