LOS ANGELES (AP) – One day after a debate clash with Jeb Bush, Donald Trump said he’s been “a little bit divisive” and wants to see Republicans come together.

In an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show Wednesday, the GOP presidential candidate looked relaxed as Kimmel queried him about campaign issues.

Trump, who has argued for temporarily banning Muslims from entering the United States, said he’s gotten calls of thanks from friends who are Muslim.

“Those may have been crank calls,” Kimmel replied, smiling.

The ABC host then turned to immigration, using the example of his on-air sidekick, Guillermo Rodriguez, to question Trump’s call for mass deportation.
