For at least this week, Trump answered with an emphatic yes.
Trump’s spending in the Philadelphia market is “a reasonably robust buy”, said J.J. Balaban, a Democratic media consultant with the Campaign Group in Philadelphia. “I promise you”, Trump said during a rally Friday in Dimondale, Mich., a town where in 2010 just 9 of the town’s 1,234 residents were black, according to census data. “The very best way this team can help is to make sure Louisianans have the resources they need”.
Yet the trip did little to obscure the turmoil in Trump’s campaign, punctuated early Friday when Trump announced that he’d accepted campaign chairman Paul Manafort’s offer to resign.
Trump, in a statement, praised Manafort’s work on the campaign and called him a “true professional”. But his son, Eric Trump, made clear the controversy was behind the resignation. “What do you have to lose by trying something new?”

In Fredericksburg, he spoke with the aid of a teleprompter, as he has at rallies all this week, and continued to strike a more inclusive, less caustic tone.
Trump’s remarks, however, seemed somewhat out of place, given that he was delivering it in a hall outside Lansing, halfway across the state from the Detroit.
On his second visit to MI in two weeks, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Friday blasted Democratic policies he said have destroyed Detroit and other urban centers and called for African Americans to support him, saying blacks can not expect change otherwise.
“Your schools are no good, you’re living in poverty…”
On Twitter, the Clinton campaign responded, “This is so ignorant it’s staggering”. If, however, Johnson is able to get up to an average of 15 percent in the national polls, he will qualify for the high-profile televised presidential debates in September and October, making his socially liberal, economically egalitarian message much more visible to potential young voters.

“I will produce for the African Americans”, he said.
