As for the kettle that Trump is painting black, he needs to humble himself – especially when it comes to Khizr and Ghazala Khan, the parents of Capt. Humayun Khan, who was posthumously awarded a Bronze Star and Purple Heart after his death in 2004. “But, now we are united as a movement and a people and we’re gonna make Donald Trump the next president of the United States of America”, said the vice-presidential nominee.
An official with direct knowledge of Priebus’ thinking was granted anonymity to discuss internal strategy after one of the most tumultuous weeks of Trump’s presidential campaign.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has declined to endorse the re-election campaign of House speaker Paul Ryan, the highest-ranking member of his party here. “We need fighters…. We don’t need weak people”.
I’ve never been there with John McCain because I’ve always felt that he should have done a much better job for the vets.
Trump told The Washington Post that he’s “just not quite there yet” when asked about an endorsement of Ryan, who faces a primary election next week.
It has been relayed to Trump hat he is losing what tenuous support he has in the party establishment, and that already skeptical donors are heading for the exits or telling the senior team can’t count on serious progress when he looks so toxic.
“I love babies. I hear that baby cry, I like it”, he said.
Trump’s son, Eric Trump, told CBS News on Tuesday that his father’s comments toward the Khans have been “blown hugely out of proportion”.
Donald Trump created this crisis.
Trump first criticized McCain last summer during a town hall in Iowa when he questioned whether McCain, a Vietnam War pilot who spent several years undergoing torture as a prisoner of war after his plane was shot down, should really be considered a hero. But as Trump’s controversies piled up, many of them – his racist attack on the judge in a lawsuit over Trump University, his sparing with the parents of a Muslim American soldier killed in Iraq, etc. – led to Ryan criticizing the man he’d endorsed.
“I know she’s given me no support – zero support – and yet I’m leading her in the polls”, Trump said of Ayotte. I will be hopeful and resolute in my belief that being a good American who loves his country is far more important than parties or winning and losing. She said she will vote for the Democratic nominee if the race in her home state of Florida appears close come Election Day.

For his part, Trump sent a Twitter post from @realDonaldTrump early Wednesday proclaiming, “There is greater unity in my campaign, perhaps greater than ever before”.
