Donald Trump says his presidential campaign has been worthwhile, despite the nonstop stream of attacks he and his family have had to endure. 

“It took massive amounts of work, incredible amounts of intrusion into my life, unbelievably unfair hits to my family, but the answer is very proudly yes,” he told The Wall Street Journal Monday when asked if he values his experiences as a White House hopeful.

“I’d always do things differently, but I’d learn for the future,” the Republican presidential nominee said. “I don’t have that option.”

Trump said after an “unprecedented victory” on Election Day, he’d quickly get to work.

“[I’d celebrate] about an hour,” he said. “Then I’d get up Wednesday morning, and start working so hard immediately.”

Trump said he’s happy with the impact he’s had on the GOP and the new voters he has galvanized.

“We’ve brought millions of people into the party,” he said. “The forgotten men and women of America, who really built this country in a true sense.

“Nobody understood the message but me. Nobody got it. I’m not sure they still understand it. Watch what happens on Tuesday. We’re going to win bigger than people think, because the American public is tired of incompetence.”

Polling shows Trump remains in a tight race with Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton at both the national and state levels just one day before Election Day.

Clinton leads Trump by roughly 3 points nationwide, according to the latest RealClearPolitics average of polls.
