“In that capacity, I surely will do everything that I can to make sure that a Clinton administration and a Democratic Senate and the House, to the degree that I can, stands up for working families, is prepared to take on the billionaire class, is prepared to try to create a vibrant democracy not allowing billionaires to buy elections”, he told Dickerson.
Asked about Khizr Khan’s remarks at the convention in an interview, Trump suggested that Khizr’s wife Gazala did not have a speaking role due to their Muslim faith.
