The same day, the reality show star acknowledged that his lack of political correctness could cost him the election if Americans reject his blunt approach. “It could cost us the Supreme Court”. Some in the audience who were seated behind Trump could be seen wincing when he made the comment. The officials weren’t authorized to comment publicly and requested anonymity. The address was meant to cast the candidate as a plausible president who could deliver prosperity by simplifying the tax code, abrogating longstanding trade agreements and overhauling America’s energy policy by placing a moratorium on new regulatory measures.

U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will release her 2015 tax returns as soon as this week in an effort to pressure her Republican rival, Donald Trump, to release his own, CNBC and ABC News reported on Thursday.
Until Trump made the remark, he had been trying to rally Republican voters behind him and against Clinton, who is leading in national opinion polls in the race for the November 8 election.
There was understood to have been more than one conversation between agents from the elite agency responsible for presidential security and Trump’s campaign officials. While Trump uses the term “hit” as a euphemism for verbal attacks, the violent imagery dovetailed with incidents of physical violence at some of his rallies and prompted some advisers to request that he tone down his rhetoric. “This is a strong powerful movement, the Second Amendment”. He added: “But the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know”. His virulent, demagogic language did not alienate everyone, though; as more and more Republicans denounce Trump, he still enjoys fervid support from some personalities at Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News Channel and the National Rifle Association.
Mrs. Clinton’s “animal rights platform only goes so far as to treat animals slightly better before we kill them”, said Eva Hammer.
In Utah, typically a reliably Republican state, Trump’s challenges have been particularly striking. “After what Trump said yesterday I just thought, ‘Oh no!”
“We’ve really been given a false narrative”, Trump said of his struggles in Utah. The Democratic nominee and her main Super PAC have spent nearly $93 million on television advertising during the general election compared to only $11 million from a hodgepodge of outside groups backing the Republican nominee. Those concerns are compelling enough that dozens of anxious Republicans gathered signatures Thursday for a letter urging the GOP chairman to stop helping Trump and focus on protecting vulnerable House and Senate candidates.
But as he said those words, disgraced former Congressman Mark Foley smiled up at him from behind the stage.
Meanwhile, Clinton emphasized Trump as increasingly volatile and unsafe man who continually crosses the line in Iowa, pointing to his disparaging remarks about the parents of a US Muslim soldier who died in combat in Iraq and his radical stance on nuclear proliferation. “Palin’s map was accompanied by the directive, “‘Don’t Retreat, Instead – RELOAD!'” Gabrielle Giffords, a member of the United States Congress, was one of the people targeted in Palin’s ad. Trump tweeted: “THEY DON’T GET SARCASM?”
On Tuesday, Democrats, and many parts of the established media, claimed that Trump had casually threatened Hillary Clinton during an off-the-cuff campaign speech. “I just don’t think insults and bullying is how we’re going to get things done”. “And this year, they will be voting in record numbers, and it won’t be for Hillary Clinton, it will be for Donald Trump”.

Clinton reiterated her plan, an apparent vow to one-time Democratic foe Bernie Sanders, to make public college tuition-free for families making up to $125,000 a year. “He made a deal with the devil”. In 1998, Donald Trump allegedly told People Magazine that if he were to make a run for president, he’d do it as a Republican because they are the “dumbest group of voters in the country”.
