The Clinton campaign replied quickly in a statement to the real estate mogul’s comments Friday night at a rally in Miami, where he said that the ex-secretary of state seeks to “destroy” the Second Amendment of the Constitution, which protects the right of Americans to possess and bear arms. “I think he stinks”. “I really think this will be the best hotel in Washington”. What do you think? Yes? Yes. “Trump looks at President Obama after eight years as our president, he still doesnt see him as an American”, she said. He had also slammed her for accepting armed Secret Service protection while backing gun control measures in the country. Let’s see what happens to her. “It’ll be very risky”, the New York Times quoted the Manhattan billionaire as saying.

Clinton’s camp condemned Trump for “inciting people to violence”.
President Barack Obama is expected to deliver a “call to action” Saturday at a Congressional Black Caucus awards dinner, a senior administration official tells CNN, and he will implore black voters to help stop Republican nominee Donald Trump.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Even as Donald Trump sought to close the door on the false conspiracy theory that President Barack Obama wasn’t born in the United States, he peddled another lie by claiming that his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, was behind it.
Donald Trump on Friday attempted to resolve an issue that is thought to have caused him significant damage with minority voters by admitting that Barack Obama was born in the USA after years of promoting false claims that the United States president was born in Kenya.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump reportedly duped the media into broadcasting an infomercial for his new hotel on the pretext of a “major announcement” to get more than 20 minutes of free air-time.
Trump alarmingly called on Clinton to have her security detail disarmed and “see what happens to her”. Trump said on “The View”.
The Clinton campaign immediately criticized the remarks, saying they amounted to nothing less than an invitation to commit violence against the Democratic candidate. And though the NRA, which has endorsed Trump, similarly followed his campaign’s lead on the voting spin last time, the pro-gun organization has long operated as if the Second Amendment is a “manual for vigilante justice”. And earlier this year, when he accepted the National Rifle Association’s endorsement, he had already suggested Clinton’s bodyguards should drop their weapons.
While Miller explained the whole “power of unification’ angle, some pundits pointed out that Trump was discussing the possibility of Second Amendment activists “taking care” of Clinton after she was elected”.
“If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks.
Right?” Trump said during a campaign rally here as the crowd cheered the idea. Drawing on a frequently quoted line from her convention speech, Mrs. Obama said her husband had responded to those questions by “going high when they go low”.
