Police questioning 3 in death of Wade’s cousin
Clinton has since apologized. Mr Trump has tried to use this as an awkward appeal to black voters, suggesting that since things aren’t ideal for black Americans, they should give his candidacy a shot.
Addressing a predominantly white audience at Iowa Sen. “She was just going to register her kids at school”. “You see something like this and it’s just, we should redouble our efforts to really adopt and promote smart strategies on that”.
Trump adds that he aims to protect the renewable fuel standard, eliminate “job-killing regulations” and “provide desperately needed tax relief”. Not for me and my family but for the future of our world.
In recent speeches, Trump has called Clinton a bigot and argued that African-American life hasn’t improved over the decades from largely throwing their support to Democratic candidates.
Via video conference from Miami, he said: ‘This is something that didn’t start today.
“I mean I was pretty stunned by that”, Kaine said. And Kaine says that Trump hasn’t done enough to distance himself from supporters with ties to the Ku Klux Klan.
Had Trump tweeted about senseless gun violence, the need to reform laws that dictate who can carry firearms, or any of the complex socio-economic factors that keep 14 percent of Chicagoans living in poverty, it would have been a better conversation.
The cause: a tweet politicizing the tragic death of 32-year-old Nykea Aldridge, cousin of National Basketball Association star Dwyane Wade, who was shot and killed Friday night in Chicago. “Just what I have been saying”.
One wrote: “How insensitive can you be???” Kaine said that Trump’s past helping facilitate the “birther” controversy about President Obama makes it impossible for him to be serious about reaching out to the African American community.
On Saturday morning Trump, whose campaign has recently intensified its push for black and Hispanic voters, referred to the death on Twitter, originally spelling Dwyane wrong, but later deleting the incorrect version and replacing it with a new tweet using the same wording.
According to one poll, just 8% of black voters say they will vote for him.
In one sense, Trump’s tweet is awful. He did, a few hours later, tweet like a presidential candidate, “My condolences to Dwyane Wade and his family, on the loss of Nykea Aldridge. They are in my thoughts and prayers”, he wrote.

The Republican governor spoke to the AP Saturday before he was to appear with Trump and other officials at a fundraiser hosted by Sen. Trump doesn’t have much of a traditional campaign apparatus. The current standard is set to expire in 2022.
So Trump’s tweet was untoward but it was also par for the course.
Seventy-two days remain until Election Day.
They may now see that, thanks to the (orange) hair-trigger opportunities offered by Twitter, we’ll still likely get a glimpse of the real man every day.
Yes, Trump’s tweet was more obviously offensive. Hillary Clinton has no such history.
But the briefing Saturday in suburban NY is her first since she became her party’s nominee.
It is not the first time Trump has tried to exploit a tragedy.
