“She is against the police, believe me”, Trump said.

He argued that Democrats were to blame for much of the violence and economic struggles affecting inner cities, and that African-Americans had suffered under Democratic leaders in those communities. However, the optics might have been a bit awkward, given that the audience was nearly entirely devoid of minorities.
“The African American community has been taken for granted for decades by the Democratic party, and look how they’re doing. We have a case where good people are out there trying to get people to sort of calm down and they’re not calming down and we have our police who do a phenomenal job”. For example, the firm pointed out that Trump’s advantage is “based entirely” on a wide lead over Clinton among seniors, 63 percent to 33 percent.
But Trump declined to hold a public event in Milwaukee, where 40 percent of residents are black, and instead chose to speak here, where 95 percent of residents are white and where many had said they hoped Trump’s rally would be a chance to celebrate the police.
The campaign shakeup, first reported by the Wall Street Journal, comes as polls show Trump trailing Clinton nationally and in key battleground states following a hard campaign stretch that saw him insulting the Muslim parents of a U.S. Army soldier who died in Iraq and temporarily refraining from endorsing House Speaker Paul Ryan in his primary race. “Believe me. You know it and I know it and guess what?”
“How are we serving these American victims by attacking law enforcement officers?” “The war on our police must end and it must end now”. “To reiterate what I said in my previous statement, Secretary Clinton is in excellent health and fit to serve as President of the United States”, said Dr. Lisa Bardack, chairman of the Department of Medicine at CareMount Medical. He would repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act and “stand up to China”.
On education, Trump suggested he would eliminate teacher tenure.
“It’s time for our society to address some honest and very, very hard truths”, Trump said.
Not all in attendance were Trump supporters.
“Hillary Clinton has released a detailed medical record showing her to be in excellent health plus her personal tax returns since 1977, while Trump has failed to provide the public with the most basic financial information disclosed by every major candidate in the last 40 years”. In 2012, Trump grabbed headlines for months, heavily suggesting Mr. Obama wasn’t born in the U.S. He even said he had sent investigators to Hawaii, the president’s birthplace, to seek the truth.
In July, in an interview with Fox News host Bill O’Reilly, Trump was asked what he would do to lessen racial tensions in the country. “I have the biggest crowds – you’re there, you see them, nobody’s ever had crowds like this they say”. “The country doesn’t have any spirit”. “They have fostered the risky anti-police atmosphere in America”, he said. Everyone talks about, ‘Oh, well you’re going to pivot, you’re going to.’ I don’t want to pivot.
Trump has resisted pressure to change his campaign style. One of the few African-American staffers, the North Carolina state director, Earl Phillip, left the campaign earlier this month due to an alleged altercation with a volunteer that has since resulted in a lawsuit.

Trump’s support has experienced wider shifts ranging from 33 percent to 39 percent while his campaign has endured controversies and distractions in recent weeks.
