President-elect Donald Trump said he "doesn't like to lie," but he also doesn't like to acknowledge if lying is ever OK.
"I don't like to lie, no. It's something that — it's not something that I would like to be doing," Trump said in an interview with Axios published Wednesday.
But Trump wouldn't take the bait if it's ever OK to lie.
"I don't want to answer the question because it's — it gets to, you know, a different level than what we're talking about for this interview," Trump told Axios.
Trump also doesn't see himself as divisive, still blaming the media for casting him in the light of a polarizing figure.
"You know, I'm not really a divisive figure," Trump told Axios. "In the history of politics, there's nobody that has been treated worse by the press than I have."
