It is no surprise that Donald Trump is using this to his advantage and kicking Clinton while she’s down. “Let’s see how they feel walking around without their guns or their body guards”, Trump said of Clinton and her Secret Service detail during his speech to the gun lobby conference in May. “OK, it would be very unsafe”.

The real estate mogul’s comments quickly came under fire as Clinton’s team fired back, condemning his incindiary words. Following Trump’s remarks in North Carolina, Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook said, “A person seeking to be the president of the United States should not suggest violence in any way”.
In a more lighthearted mood, Obama said there is more pep in his step now that the validity of his birth certificate is a non-issue, following Trump’s admission Friday that Obama was born in the us after years of says the president, who was born in Hawaii, was likely not born in the U.S.
Obama also is expected to respond directly to Trump’s “birther” admission Friday – he publicly acknowledged for the first time that Obama was born in the USA – but will likely do so in a “lighthearted” way, the official said.
After years of fueling conspiracy theories, Republican White House nominee Donald Trump admitted President Barack Obama is an American as he tried to neutralize damaging charges of racism. Right? I think they should disarm immediately. I finished it. I finished it.
At the rally in downtown Miami, Trump told several thousand supporters that Clinton “goes around with armed bodyguards like you have never seen before”. For five years, he has led the birther movement to de-legitimize our first black president.
“My name may not be on the ballot, but our progress is on the ballot”, a fiery Obama said in remarks before an annual gala hosted by the Congressional Black Caucus in Washington. Trump said he meant gun owners should vote against her, not try to kill her.
Trump ignored questions from reporters about his switch and has yet to explain why he abandoned the “birther” stance that fueled his political fame and was viewed by critics as an attempt to delegitimize the nation’s first African-American president.
Trump sparks anger after calling on bodyguards of rival Clinton to “drop all weapons” and “see what happens to her”.
Almost everyone was troubled by her comments in a February interview with CBS’ Scott Pelley “I don’t believe I ever have” lied to the American people.
The poll shows 50.9 percent of respondents said they would vote for Trump if the election were held today, down from 53 percent in a poll conducted in late July. “I’m not great at taking it easy under even normal circumstances, but with just two months until Election Day, sitting at home was pretty much the last place I wanted to be”. “I don’t know”, he continued. In fact, Trump is just recycling an old tweet from May. “No, she gets right back up and she comes back stronger for the people who need her the most”. “In 11 of the 14 states we’re looking at, Clinton is doing worse than Obama did”.
