Trump savages Clinton as ‘world-class liar’
The poll was conducted June 19-23 – during arguably one of most tumultuous periods of Trump’s presidential campaign.
The Republican party presumptive nominee Donald Trump dominated much of the coverage this morning on the cable news nets and beyond. It’s bad enough for the Trump campaign that he remains unable to improve his image: 70 percent of Americans are anxious about the prospect of a Trump administration, unchanged from six months ago. Citing information from the report, CNN wrote that under a Trump presidency about 3.5 million Americans would lose their jobs, unemployment would jump back to 7 percent, home prices would fall, and the stock market would plummet.
The Trump campaign endured media scrutiny this week after making a trip to a Trump-owned golf course in Scotland in the midst of the United Kingdom’s “Brexit” vote. However, if third-party candidates are factored in, then Clinton’s edge is virtually erased. A quarter of investors said they would change some of their investment positions with either contender in the Oval Office, moving money out of the stock market and bonds and instead into cash and gold.
His hunch was proven correct Saturday when the influential conservative columnist George F. Will announced he had left the Republican Party over Trump. That Democrat – was Bill Clinton.
His dwindled support follows revelations about campaign finances for both Trump and Clinton, where Clinton is also ahead of her rival. Only 8 percent of Sanders voters now support Trump, compared with 10 percent of all Republicans who support Clinton.
Members of the new group include former Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr. and Faith and Freedom Coalition leader Ralph Reed.
Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich, whose decades of political experience would be a counterbalance to Trump, has been repeatedly mentioned as a potential vice presidential candidate but said Sunday he has not been contacted about the position. The Berkshire Hathaway CEO appeared on a Clinton campaign video previous year, in which he said that she “is going to use the brains and the energy with an incredible devotion to make sure that the people who want to work find America works for them”.
Mr Trump’s financial arrangements have spooked donors, Charlie Spies, a Republican strategist, said.
