Trump is campaigning across Florida this week, where they are tied. If anything goes wrong, he’s quick to blame it on his favorite enemy, the media.

Donald Trump is staying on message on President Obama, while also trying some humility on the campaign trail. “I’m the one that’s funding, I’m the one that’s raising the money and other people are getting to use the money that I raised”, Trump said. What he was talking about is how the mainstream media wants to pick on every single word.
“I think we’re going to have victory, but we’ll see”.
On Friday morning, Trump took to Twitter to accuse CNN of not understanding his remarks.
CRIMEA RIVER: Heads spun in the foreign policy world when Trump said this month that Russian Federation wouldn’t enter Ukraine, seemingly unaware it already had. In Michigan this week, Trump and Clinton showed a dueling economic speeches to the public for the presidential race.
If Trump says he’s only being sarcastic, what does that actually mean?
Trump supporter Newt Gingrich on Friday said that the GOP nominee has failed to understand the importance of being precise.
“But one of the things that is frustrating about his candidacy is his imprecise language. He sometimes uses three words when he needs 10”.
As Trump doubled-down on his claim that Obama is the literal co-founder of ISIS, his spokespeople struggled while giving best-possible interpretations of his statement.
Trump’s exercise in self-awareness is a marked departure from his usual tenor on the campaign trail, where for months at rallies he would tick through poll numbers showing him winning as if they were sports scores of his favorite team.
“It was a style that none of his Republican opponents could cope with”, Gingrich said. “I know what you meant”, Hewitt said.
Mr Trump said he was not anxious that Republicans would cut him off – and threatened to stop fundraising for the party if they do.
“I think it’s perfectly fair to say in a very powerful debate that the Obama/Clinton decision to pull out of Iraq created the vacuum, which enabled ISIS to emerge,”said Gingrich”. “That’s how we got into this situation - ’No I mean founder, I said founder, ‘” he said.
“He (Obama) was the most valuable player”. Mr Trump appeared to suggest on Tuesday, possibly in jest, that Ms Clinton or her Supreme Court nominees could be shot, as a way of preventing her from making judicial appointments if she wins the November presidential election.
Hewitt responded: “But he’s not sympathetic to them”. Trump replied, “I don’t care”. “He was the founder”. He is the founder of ISIS.
“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing”. He is the founder of ISIS, OK?
DT: Therefore, he was the founder of ISIS. “He’s the founder. He founded ISIS”.
In an interview with ABC’s This Week shortly afterwards, Trump reiterated his earlier clarification that by “wherever” he meant her nose, and not how many people interpreted it originally.
