His campaign confirmed this week he is coming back to Detroit in early September with former presidential hopeful Dr.

Before the meeting, several protesters unfurled a banner over a railing in the lobby of Trump Tower that read, “Trump = Always Racist”.
Trump’s sit-down with ABC did not go well for the candidate, who claimed he had sacrificed for his country by employing thousands of people, and suggested that the Khan’s wife, Ghazala Khan, had not spoken at the convention, rather standing silently by her husband’s side, because she was forbidden to as a Muslim.
Hillary Clinton launched into a blistering new line of attack against Donald Trump on Thursday, accusing him of helping foment racial hatred and refashioning the Republican Party as a welcome home for white nationalists.
Clinton is looking to counter Trump’s attempts to win over moderate voters who have been unsettled by his controversial remarks and policy proposals.
COOPER: But hatred is at the core of that, or dislike of African Americans?
A Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday had Mrs. Clinton up 7 points among likely voters over Mr. Trump, outside the margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points.
The Clinton Foundation now says it will wind down foreign and corporate contributions if Mrs. Clinton is elected president, but Republicans say it should be shut down immediately.
Clinton devoted a whole speech to depicting Trump as a racist, reaching way back to his first appearance in a major newspaper story: It was 1973, and he was fighting a federal lawsuit for refusing to rent apartments to black people. Despite those high unfavorables, though, Clinton holds a 10-point lead over Trump. Clinton has since apologized for using the term.
“Is she right to call him a bigot?”
“He continued: “[Her] short speech is pandering to the worst instincts in our society. “We really can’t speculate about the future of the Clinton Foundation”, Amy Enright, a Gates Foundation spokeswoman, wrote in an email. “Winding down these programs takes time, and we’re going to make sure that we don’t undermine the excellence and the results”. Because it isn’t simply going away after Donald Trump is done exploiting it.
That’s a lot of visits to a state where the last round of local polling had Trump trailing Hillary Clinton by almost 10 percentage points. The messages could become public in mid-October, just weeks before Election Day.
That new discipline has enabled the Republican tycoon to concentrate his attacks on Clinton and his allegations that, as secretary of state, she trafficked in influence through the family’s Clinton Foundation. “People often refer to me as the other Hillary”, said the Mayor of Reno to the crowd at Truckee Meadows Community College as she introduced Democratic Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton.
“I’ve made it clear that if I’m successful in November we’re going to be taking additional steps”.
He also defended Hillary Clinton’s contact with donors to the foundation while serving as secretary of state, saying foundation donors like Bangladeshi economist and Nobel Peace Prize victor Muhammad Yunus have no trouble reaching officials around the world. People who prefer tough immigration policies, he said, merely want “their jobs protected and their country kept safe”; people who warn of “radical Islam” and the threat of refugees merely want “to uphold our values as a tolerant society”.

Trump, meanwhile, declared in an interview on CNN that Clinton is a bigot – an accusation that he first made at a rally Wednesday night in MS, but that he repeated several times under questioning from CNN’s Anderson Cooper.
