Trump stand-ins struggle to speak for and defend nominee

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks at Joni’s Roast and Ride during a fundraiser at the Iowa State Fairgrounds, in Des Moines, Iowa, Saturday, Aug. 27, 2016.

“One issue that you didn’t really address is whether the 11 or 12 million undocumented immigrants will be removed by a deportation force”, Tapper said.

Donald Trump said rival Hillary Clinton will push regulations and high taxes that will hurt family farmers as he campaigned in Iowa, an agricultural state that remains a presidential election battleground. “On Day One, I am going to begin swiftly removing criminal illegal immigrants from this country – including removing the hundreds of thousands of criminal illegal immigrants that have been released into U.S. communities under the Obama-Clinton administration”, Trump told supporters in Des Moines, Iowa. It was part of Trump’s hard-line stance on his signature issue of immigration. “Big crowds, looking for a larger venue”, Trump, who had postponed an immigration speech originally planned for last Thursday in Denver, said in his tweet on Sunday.

Trump will provide more details about his immigration policies in the coming weeks, Pence said.

Branstad, in an interview with The Associated Press, said he felt Trump could score points against Clinton by focusing on agricultural issues. Pence also did not answer whether the campaign believes, as Trump has said, that children born to people who are in the USA illegally are not US citizens.

The magnate also promised to deport “these global gangs of thugs and drug cartels.from the first day in office”, but avoided saying what he would do with those who have no criminal record, EFE news reported. “So he obviously would work with law enforcement, immigration, the immigration agencies”, she said. The billionaire real estate magnate and former reality TV host – in a white baseball cap – said that “If we don’t enforce visa expiration dates, then we have an open border”. He first floated the prospect of a “deportation force” to boot all undocumented immigrants from the country – no matter how long they’d been in the United States – during an interview in November 2015, and later defended it in a December primary debate.

“What he has said is that people are not going to be eligible for legalization or citizenship unless they leave the country and get back in line”, Christie, Trump’s transition team chairman, told host Martha Raddatz.

His surrogates on Sunday refused to comment on Trump’s reaction to the fatal shooting of National Basketball Association star Dwyane Wade’s cousin Friday, as she pushed her baby in a stroller in Chicago.

Other Trump stand-ins, including New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, spoke similarly. “African-Americans will VOTE TRUMP!” “I think that’s what he’s been saying”.

Asked whether the initial tweet was presidential or appropriate, GOP officials and campaign advisers instead talked about reducing crime or said they were pleased Trump followed up with a tweet of condolence and empathy.

“With Hillary Clinton off the campaign trail yet again this week and continuing to take many communities’ votes for granted, we see this as the right time to show voters the benefits of an American economy under the leadership of Mr. Trump”, he added.
