Trump Says Clinton Guards Should Disarm and ‘See What Happens’
“The next president of the United States must stand in solidarity with all people oppressed in our hemisphere, and we will stand with oppressed people, and there are many”, he said. Ted Cruz, a darling of the evangelical movement, beat Trump in the state’s primary.
Washington Post columnist Greg Sargent writes that Trump’s statement was merely meant to shift attention away from the issue as the election approaches. Trump held a press conference where he took credit for the development, but said he still needed to assess the document.
Clinton surged ahead of Trump by only 1 percentage point in a Fox News poll that included the Libertarian and Green party candidates in a four-way ballot. She did not mention Trump by name but showered the president with praise and said the upcoming election would be a pivotal choice for the country.
Trump did fewer media appearances speaking about this issue. Few people knew of the diagnosis, and she was criticized for a lack of transparency when she had to leave the memorial event early to rest.
That December, he questioned why theState Health Director who verified Obama’s birth certificate died in a plane crash while others on board lived.
Trump’s remarks Friday came after Obama again expressed scorn for the entire subject. “He’s still one of them”. He was perhaps born in Kenya.
“I was pretty confident about where I was born”, he said.
“What they do is they spear opponents – and you look at her history”, Trump said. Trump says that he can’t because he’s being audited – even though the Internal Revenue Service says that he’s free to release the data. “Or you know, who knows”.
Obama pointed to progress during his two terms as president, praising Clinton as the candidate most likely to continue that work.
Mr Trump has questioned Mr Obama’s U.S. citizenship – a legal prerequisite for becoming president – since at least 2011. “And I just don’t talk about it”, he said.
The battle for the White House – dominated by Hillary Clinton only weeks ago – is tightening dramatically, a nerve-wracking turn for Democrats that sets up what could be a nail-biter election in 52 days.
Trump then claimed that Clinton brought up the issue in the 2008 campaign against the then-Illinois senator, hoping to quell a firestorm that began in March 2011 when the Republican first questioned whether Obama was born in the country.
Poll also shows Trump – who has been a bit more disciplined since shuffling his top advisers in August – taking the lead in OH and Florida, two key battleground states, while gaining in others.
“He is the founder of ISIS”, he said during a rally in Florida in August.
On Sept. 15, Trump again refuses to say if President Obama was born in the United States.
‘(We are) keep the Trump campaign on defense, particularly in states that are must-wins for them like Virginia and North Carolina, ‘ he told CNN’s Erin Burnett on Thursday. “I just don’t want to answer it yet”.
Within minutes, the Clinton campaign condemned the remark.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Hillary Clinton on Saturday implored black leaders to help protect the legacy of President Barack Obama, warning of a “dangerous and divisive vision” that could come under rival Donald Trump.
“I think that her bodyguards should drop all weapons”, the Republican presidential nominee said Friday. “I finished it. I finished it”.
“But I’ll tell you what, that will be a awful day”. That point was particularly evident in the new NBC/Wall Street Journal/Marist state polls this week that showed her with softer support from Latinos and young voters than Obama.
