Bloomberg started by saying he wasn’t a Democrat, but an independent. “I was shocked. A total lack of respect for president Obama”, he said.

“There are times when I disagree with Hillary”, Bloomberg confessed. That’s who we are.
Look, Trump says a lot of incendiary things.
“She’s been there for us, even if we haven’t always noticed”, he said. Dmitry Kiselyov, whose vehement and provocative views have made him Russian television’s most prominent commentator, chose colorful phrasing to describe him in one broadcast: “He’s a risky person”. Delivering a passionate case for his one-time rival, Obama declared Clinton not only can defeat the “deeply pessimistic vision” of Republican Donald Trump but also realize the “promise of this great nation”. “The America I know is decent and generous”. “And no matter how daunting the odds; no matter how much people try to knock her down, she never, ever quits”.
He opened by bashing Hillary Clinton for not holding a news conference in months and generated headlines by urging Russian Federation to uncover Clinton’s deleted emails. “It should disqualify her from office”. “It involves finding solutions, not pointing fingers, and offering hope, not stoking fear”. “I’ve built a business, and I didn’t start it with a million-dollar check from my father”, he said to cheers.
“Let’s elect a sane, competent person”, he added.
Trump is unmoved. The billionaire owner of the Trump Organization, an worldwide development company, says the Internal Revenue Service is reviewing his most recent returns and that he’ll release them once that audit is complete. One previously infiltrated unclassified networks at the White House, the State Department and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Donald Trump hopes that Russian Federation hacks Hillary Clinton’s emails, he said during a press conference in Florida this morning.
Trump said Wednesday that he has no ties to Russian Federation whatsoever, but that hasn’t stopped Democratic donors in Philadelphia from saying that in the absence of Trump’s tax returns, voters are left to wonder whether there are undisclosed financial ties between Trump and foreign entities. Then he asked the Russians to release any deleted emails they might have found there. Think about that for a moment. To believe that the Republican nominee was dead serious in urging an adversary of the United States to commit or complete an act of espionage against his Democratic opponent is to believe that Trump is clinically insane. I’m going to renegotiate our military deals where we’re protecting countries and they’re not living up to the bargain. But it was an unmistakable and severe condemnation that was not along the more lines of more traditional convention speeches.
Donald Trump doesn’t understand that; Hillary Clinton does. He said the rhetoric at the GOP convention in Cleveland “wasn’t particularly Republican, and it sure wasn’t conservative”. “Donald Trump can not become our commander-in-chief”. Not really a facts guy, either. “Who knows who it is”, Trump told Fox.
“Hey, you know what gives me more pause? Your voice? If so, you should vote for him”. “David Hinckley was just released”, Trump said.
He ended the media appearance by taking another swipe at Clinton, who would make history as America’s first woman president but who has been criticized for not holding a news conference since last December.
“This just is beyond my own understanding of the responsibilities that candidates have to be loyal to their country and to their country alone, not to reach out to somebody like Putin and Russian Federation, and try to engage them in an effort to try to, in effect, conduct a conspiracy against another party”, he said. He reminded voters that Reagan famously called America “a shining city on a hill”. “Donald Trump calls it ‘a divided crime scene” that only he can fix. It involves finding solutions, not pointing fingers, and offering hope, not stoking fear.
After winning that election, he appointed her his secretary of state.

Most of Obama’s speech emphasized what’s positive about America, even as it struggles with many serious issues. “This has gone from being a curiosity, and a matter of politics, to being a national security”, [sic] the campaign said in an official statement.
