Just 38 percent of Trump supporters expressed a lot of confidence in how their votes would be counted, compared with 65 percent of those who backed 2008 Republican nominee John McCain, and 75 percent of those who were behind President George W.

On Monday, Trump labeled the Clinton Foundation “the most corrupt enterprise in political history” and called for the organization to cease operations immediately. “If you look at it, it’s pay for play”.
“We calculated the rent based on the average rent per square foot in the area”, the statement says.
