“His comment was that if she didn’t have all that security, she’d change her attitude about the right to keep and bear arms”. At an N.R.A. conference in May he made similar comments, and he has tweeted repeatedly that Clinton wants to take away conservatives’ gun rights. “It’ll be very risky”, the New York Times quoted the Manhattan billionaire as saying.

When given a chance to clarify his remarks, a campaign spokeswoman did not immediately respond.
The Trump campaign has made a concerted effort to pin the “birther” lie on Hillary Clinton’s 2008 campaign against Obama, and so host Chuck Todd asked Cornell Belcher, a member of Obama’s 2008 team, if the Obama campaign believed that eight years ago.

The President took a swipe at Mr. Trump who conceded two days earlier that Mr. Obama was born in America, after years of misinformation campaign. Among those, he said, would be religious and political freedom for the Cuban people and the freeing of all political prisoners. “This is not what the American people are talking about”, he said.
