Across the Sunday news shows, a parade of Mr Trump stand-ins, led by vice presidential nominee Mike Pence, could not say whether Mr Trump was sticking with or changing a central promise to use a “deportation force” to expel immigrants in the USA illegally.

Trump’s first tweet about the shooting ended this way: “Just what I have been saying”.
He may be getting union votes but Trump managed to stir up controversy once again this month when he addressed the African-American voters of MI in front of a predominately white crowd, according to CNN: “You’re living in poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs, 58% of your youth is unemployed – what the hell do you have to lose?”
A Clinton campaign spokesperson said Sunday night that Clinton “is the only candidate in the race who has met the standard expected of presidential candidates and provided a detailed medical letter by her long time physician”.
Trump, speaking on the Iowa State Fairgrounds with hay bales stacked behind him, sought to clarify his views on how to overhaul the USA immigration system after saying earlier in the week that he was softening on his plan to deport all 11 million illegal immigrants.

But by Thursday, he was ruling out any kind of legal status – “unless they leave the country and come back”, he told CNN.
The speech has been rescheduled at least once. “Instead of continuing to push discredited conspiracy theories, Donald Trump needs to produce a real doctor’s letter, written by a credible doctor, that details the state of his health for voters”, Glen Caplin said in a Clinton campaign statement. The campaign later blamed a staff error for a report that the immigration speech would be delivered in Phoenix on August 31.
But it’s not clear what he’ll say, apparently even to his top supporters.
The Indiana governor, Conway and other surrogates said the main tenets of Trump’s immigration plan still will include building a wall along the southern USA border and making Mexico pay for it, no path to status adjustment or citizenship for people here illegally and stronger border enforcement.
