Both Clinton and Trump have released notes from doctors declaring them physically fit for the presidency.

But after a turbulent few weeks, which included a campaign shakeup, Trump appears to be walking back his divisive rhetoric to some degree. Trump has trailed behind Clinton in the polls among non-white voters. It has to be very firm. “We want to come up with a really fair, but firm answer. As far as I can tell, he’s as healthy as a horse”. “The existing laws, the first thing we’re gonna do, if and when I win, is we’re gonna get rid of all of the bad ones”. Lots of people were brought out of the country with the existing laws.
The Fox interview follows a Saturday BuzzFeed report that during a “meeting with his newly announced Hispanic advisory council, Donald Trump suggested he is interested in figuring out a “humane and efficient” manner to deal with immigrants in the country illegally, according to three sources”.
Trump is now denying that he is preparing to flip flop on the issue, while his campaign manager Kellyanne Conway has said his position on deportation forces is “to be determined”.
“Even Sen. Jeff Sessions”, a hard-liner on immigration, “he doesn’t deport 11 million people in his plan”, Conway said on CNBC. The nominee had been scheduled to deliver a speech on the topic Thursday in Colorado, but has postponed it.
Trump’s shift in tone raised questions on whether he’s backtracking from previous pledges to push for mass deportations. The payment began increasing in May and hit $169,758 last month. “In Hillary Clinton’s America, the system stays rigged against Americans: Syrian refugees flood in, illegal immigrants convicted of committing crimes get to stay, collecting social-security benefits, skipping the line, our border open, it’s more of the same, but worse”, the ad says.
Aligned super PACs have spent some money on Trump’s behalf during that time, but it has paled in comparison to Clinton, who has been tapping her sizable campaign war chest to air television ads mostly attacking Trump on broadcast stations in swing state media markets and on cable and satellite platforms nationwide. “Mr. Trump said nothing today that he hasn’t said many times before, including in his convention speech”, rapid response director Steven Cheung said after the meeting.
Also on Monday, a lawyer for Trump’s wife, Melania Trump, said he informed several news organizations, including the Daily Mail, that they could face legal action for publishing articles that Melania Trump contended were defamatory.
The billionaire mogul has also used stereotypes about women to demean Clinton, who stands to become the country’s first female president if she wins in November.
However, both Bush and Obama’s immigration enforcement was paired with an effort to get Congress to legalize the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the US, something Trump has derided as “amnesty”. “That’s not what he is supposed to be about”.
The Trump campaign, by contrast, launched its first general-election TV ad last week, saying it planned to spend $4.8 million on a 10-day buy in four states: Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania. She’ll stop by the home of actors Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel in Los Angeles, address donors with NBA Hall of Famer Magic Johnson in Beverly Hills and join Apple CEO Tim Cook and other business leaders in Silicon Valley.

“Make sure I’m alive”, she joked before continuing.
