Trump, Clinton Use “Orlando Massacre” to Promote Their Counterterrorism Programs

Clinton opened her military roundtable at the Virginia Air & Space Center here by questioning the proposals that Trump has announced in response to the terrorist attack in Orlando on Sunday that left 49 people dead.

Asked by NBC News’ Chuck Todd Tuesday if the party considered Clinton their presumptive nominee, Wasserman Schultz replied, “we are not presuming anything”. Right now more are saying they may not vote in November.

Clinton’s campaign needled Trump on Thursday with a news release titled “What’s Donald Trying to Hide?” “It’s inconceivable. There’s something going on”, Trump said to Fox & Friends Monday.

Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks said the candidate was retweeting a message from another Twitter user.

Americans overall are more pleased with the way the current commander-in-chief reacted: 44 percent say they approved of President Barack Obama’s response, compared to 34 percent who disapproved.

More respondents agreed Clinton was empathetic (42-27), able to handle a national crisis (48-31) and qualified to be president (56-30) than Trump. He cast Trump as a “peddler of lies, fantasies and half-baked conspiracy theories”.

The Reuters/Ipsos poll was conducted online in English with adults living in the continental United States, Alaska and Hawaii. But the acrimony with the Fourth Estate increased once it became clear he would be the Republican nominee.

“I disagree with him on the Muslim ban, I’m not in accordance with his values on some other things”, Boteach said.

The Democratic nominating contests are over and Hillary Clinton claimed victory a week ago.

But the White House has avoided commenting on Trump’s attempts to link Obama to terrorism, calling the matter “small”.

In a general election against Hillary Clinton, however, most expect Trump to have to spend more time on donor outreach in order to make up ground.

Stringer said ultimately, Air Canada saw the campaign as an opportunity to increase their brand recognition in the U.S.as it battles fierce competition from its American rivals.

Trump did not mention the report or his broader accusations during a rally Wednesday in Atlanta.

13 percent say they will support neither candidate. An ongoing feud between Trump and Warren gained steam on social media with a series of posts in which she labelled the former reality television show host racist, sexist and xenophobic. “So this is Islamic terror and this is his religion”.

Before last week, Trump might have capitalized politically on the tragedy: after attackers killed 14 people at an office party in San Bernardino, California, in December – and he first proposed the Muslim ban – his approval rating spiked, helping propel him to undisputed frontrunner status in the GOP presidential primary.

Clinton won the endorsements of numerous AFL-CIO’s largest members in the past year, including the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees and the American Federation of Teachers, paving the way for the AFL-CIO to back her campaign.
