“I think that her bodyguards should drop all weapons”, Trump said, adding “I think they should disarm”.
Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said over the weekend that reporters who continued to question Donald Trump’s history of birtherism were “slandering” the candidate. She doesn’t want guns. “It will be very unsafe”, he added.
On Saturday, shortly after an explosion rocked the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, injuring many passersby, Trump immediately declared it a “bomb” and suggested it validates his “get tough” approach to dealing with terrorism.
“When African-Americans came here in 1619 … they could not be citizens”, Democratic vice-presidential nominee Tim Kaine told “Fox News Sunday”.
“It is over. Donald Trump and I both acknowledge that without hesitation (that Obama was born in the US)”, Pence told the ABC News in an interview today as he was asked about the controversy surrounding the birth of Obama. “This is the highest stakes, most 24-7 job you could possibly imagine”, she said. (If you want to see a list of those faults, I’m sure the good people who comment on Facebook will be happy to make a list for you.) Clinton has bravely faced those mistakes, admitted to them, taken the heat, and moved on.
“I think it’s always wiser to wait until you have information before making conclusions”. “Let’s talk about Donald Trump”, Kaine said.

“I will also say that there’s a reason why we haven’t had a woman President; that we as a society still grapple with what it means to see powerful women”. “People who registered to vote for John Kasich in the primaries are now backing Trump”.
In a much-hyped televised event, Trump gave a lengthy plug for his new Washington hotel before acknowledging that “President Barack Obama was born in the United States, period”.
Calling Trump, 70, as the “other guy” in the election, Obama reiterated that the NY billionaire is not qualified to be President of the United States and slammed him for not showing any interest in gaining knowledge required to make tough decisions on a daily basis in the White House. Sometimes she is made into a liar by her own candidate, as happened Wednesday when she denied that Trump would release any medical records on “The Dr. Oz Show”, only to see him do just that a few hours later.
Trump has long talked tough on immigration, deriding Mexico as a source of rapists and criminals in his campaign kick-off speech past year and vowing to build an impenetrable wall on the nation’s southern border.
