Democrats have criticized Trump’s positions on foreign policy and national security, besides some freewheeling remarks.

“We asked voters if they agreed or disagreed with the statement ‘I’m mad as hell and I won’t take it anymore.'” Of the 54% who said they agreed, Trump leads by a 2:1 margin (58%-28%). During Trump’s campaign, he’s said that many Mexicans are rapists, feuded with the Muslim-American parents of an Army captain killed in Iraq and proposed to suspend immigration by Muslims and people from “terror countries”.
Trump and Democrat Bernie Sanders both claimed this year that the system is “rigged” against them.
Earlier, Trump held three events in Milwaukee, a city still reeling from violent protests after the death of Sylville Smith, 23.
Officials said he was shot because he was carrying an illegal handgun and had refused to drop it.
Trump encountered only a handful of peaceful protesters while he was in the city, including at a closed fundraiser. “The media-donor political complex that’s bled this country dry has to be replaced with a new government of, by, and for the people”.
Clarke, who is black and who spoke at the Republican National Convention last month, has been critical of the protests.
Donald Trump accused rival Hillary Clinton of being against the police as he condemned the violence that followed a shooting by officers.
Low-income communities need more police, Trump said.
The Republican nominee for president, speaking with a teleprompter at a rally in West Bend, vowed to usher in an era of stronger policing, increase officer presence and diminish crime in urban areas. He spoke before an nearly entirely white audience.
Clinton said at a voter registration event at a Philadelphia high school that she’s “not taking anybody anywhere for granted” in the race for the White House, saying the stakes “could not be higher”. “Crime and violence is an attack on the poor and will never be accepted in a Trump administration”.
The ad buy was disclosed to about 50 members of Congress in a conference call Tuesday with Trump’s campaign chairman Paul Manafort. In his speech, Trump also accused Clinton of setting herself “against the police”.
“Those peddling the narrative of cops as a racist force in our society, a narrative supported with a nod by my opponent, share directly in the responsibility for the unrest in Milwaukee and many other places within our country”, Trump said to cheers.
Some of Trump’s own advisors might not pass the new test. Gen. Michael Flynn, who was floated as a possible Trump vice presidential pick but remains a close ally and advisor, received speaking fees from Russian Federation.
Trump told Fox News that the shooting in Milwaukee may have occurred because the officer had a gun to his head.
“Who can have a problem with that?” “Maybe it’s not true”.

“You have young people going out, doing their best every day to get prepared to compete, and that’s what we’re going to do in America”, she added.
