A lot of people don't seem to like the way presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump talks, saying that he often appears to be tactless, boorish and arrogant.

But "Duck Dynasty" star Willie Robertson, who has given his endorsement to the business magnate, is unfazed by the criticisms hurled at Trump.

Americans need someone who has a "no-nonsense attitude," Robertson told the Shreveport Times. "We need somebody tough." For him, Trump just fits the bill.

As for Trump's controversial comments, Robertson does not see any issue with them. "I grew up with [dad] Phil, so I'm used to that," he jokingly said.

The Robertsons are actually divided on their presidential candidate of choice. While Willie is rooting for Trump, his father Phil and brothers Alan, Jase and Jep have given their support to Sen. Ted Cruz, who bowed out of the presidential race on Tuesday night. They have not yet indicated whether they would join Willie in supporting Trump.

"I'm smiling a little more at the dinner table with the family," Willie Robertson said. "It looks like it's about over."

Should Trump come face to face with Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton, Robertson believes that Clinton wouldn't stand a chance. "I think Trump's got it, I think Hillary's a bad candidate. She was a bad candidate in '08 and she's even worse now. I think Mr. Trump is going to prevail," Robertson told Fox News.

Pollster John Zogby is in agreement with Robertson. Speaking on Newsmax TV on Tuesday, he said "Hillary Clinton is a damaged candidate" and that Trump could attack her on several fronts.

"It's not so much the email process," Zogby told host Steve Malzberg on "America Votes: 2016" in an interview. "I think it's mainly email content."

"Trump is going to be all over the Clinton Foundation and that's going to be a nasty one," Zogby said.

"The other problem that she has is I think she's treating Bernie Sanders like Sister Souljah: 'Hey, just ignore him. Why isn't he going to drop out? Why isn't he a team player?'

"Misunderstanding that, she really needs Bernie Sanders a whole lot more than Bernie Sanders needs her going into the general election," Zogby said. "She does very, very badly with young voters.

"If they don't show up to vote ... she could lose," he said.
