Washington (CNN) Donald Trump says he's planning a rebuttal to Hillary Clinton's harsh criticism over foreign policy delivered in a speech last week.
The presumptive Republican nominee told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union" Sunday that he could deliver his response as soon as Monday.
"I think I'm going to devote a retort to her speech. Maybe I'll do it on Monday, before the election" in California and four other states, Trump said.
He mocked Clinton for working with speechwriters on the San Diego remarks. And he swatted away Clinton's criticisms -- she cast him as "temperamentally unfit" for the presidency and driven by personal feuds -- by insisting he has "very strong, very thick skin."
"Most of the things, many of the things she said, are wrong," Trump said.
Trump also defended his claims that he opposed the Iraq War before it began.
"I was against it from before it started," he said.
It's clear Trump opposed the war by 2004, but there's not yet any public evidence that he opposed it before the war began in 2003.
Asked on Howard Stern's show in 2002 whether he supported then-President George W. Bush's push to go to war, Trump said, "Yeah, I guess so."
