Trump takes in $51 million, takes potential VP’s on tour
Trump declared in a rambling address at a campaign rally in Cincinnati.
The statement was a pivot for Gingrich: days earlier at the Aspen Ideas Festival, he called talk that he would be selected “wild speculation”, saying that even if he were to be chosen, he would have to have a “very, very long talk” with his wife, Callista, and then “another long talk” with Trump. “I’ve walked through a number of corporate offices in my life and I have to tell you that the respect that the people who work for him and the respect that he shows them is pretty telling”.
Under fire for the tweet, Trump has doubled down, once again raising concerns about whether the candidate is capable of practicing message discipline.
Clinton’s campaign blasted the original tweet as a “blatantly anti-Semitic image”, Politico reported.
Donald Trump is continuing to defend the controversial star tweet his campaign took down from his Twitter account. “We found exactly the same star was being used in a book about “Frozen” by Disney”. The image featured a six-pointed star and a pile of cash – which many critics said had clear anti-Semitic connotations.
Gingrich, an outspoken supporter of Israel, echoed Trump’s most recent defense of the tweet: that a six-pointed star is featured on a children’s book tied into the popular Disney movie “Frozen”. Then Trump’s social media team hastily slapped a circle over the star and issued a Chewbacca defense-style explanation that involved the Microsoft Office Shapes tool and the premise that a sheriff’s badge “fit with the theme” of money and corruption.
There is no evidence Trump has consciously courted people who espouse hate speech, but he has repeatedly retweeted messages from Twitter users with questionable profiles.
Donald Trump’s fundraising operation kicked into gear last month and raised about $51 million, the campaign says in a press release. He later vowed to temporarily bar the world’s more than 1.5 billion foreign Muslims from entering the USA, a position from which he recently backed away. But, he said, “white middle America has become demoralized”. “Lots of support! Win”.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks in front of the now-closed Trump Plaza boardwalk in Atlantic City, N.J., on Wednesday, where she met with striking workers of the Trump Taj Mahal. He’s not bothered by the fact Trump dumped him as a delegate. “Because our crowd is so ineffectual and so powerless”, Johnson said. “We like each other, we have a lot of fun and we’re both willing to take on the traditional system so we’re happily doing that”.
