It also shows headlines about a racial discrimination lawsuit the NY real estate mogul faced in the 1970s, Reuters reported, and a recording of comments he made in 2011.

Her speech, one of the best of her campaign, was aimed at pre-empting any efforts by the Trump campaign to rebrand itself. “We want people – we have some great people in this country. There’s no amnesty, as such, there’s no amnesty, but we work with them”. The message came about an hour after his Arizona campaign director read a statement saying the event planned for the Hyatt Regency hotel in Phoenix had been cancelled.
