Following attacks in Minnesota, New York and New Jersey, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton has blasted the rhetoric of Republican nominee Donald Trump, asserting his comments about Muslim Americans only help the cause of ISIS.

Trump, who has a history of responding to apparent terrorist attacks on US soil by congratulating himself, didn’t just spend the 26 minute long interview patting himself on the back-he also delivered some terrifyingly vague threats to other countries.
“We can not let this evil continue”, Trump said in Florida on Monday after the capture of a USA naturalized citizen of Afghan descent suspected of planting a series of bombs in NY and New Jersey over the weekend, and the stabbing of nine people in a separate attack in a Minnesota mall on Saturday in an attack claimed by ISIS.
On MSNBC, before holding a rally in NY for congressional candidate Zephyr Teachout, Sanders told potential no-shows to ‘think about what the country looks like and whether you’re comfortable with four years of a Trump presidency’.
“I think this is something that maybe will. happen more and more all over the country”, Trump told Fox News. Both major party nominees are viewed unfavorably by a majority of likely Florida voters, according to the polls – Trump at 55 percent and Clinton at 53 percent.
Trump said he believes there’s a foreign connection to the attack, though it was unclear how the Republican obtained that information.
“This is somebody who is smart, who is tough and, most importantly, who cares deeply about making sure that this country works for everybody and not just a few”, Obama said of Clinton. “We’re going to have to be very tough”, Mr Trump told Fox News Channel. “We will direct the full resources of the federal government to make sure that the investigation goes forward aggressively”, he added. It really does, ‘ she said to a group of 300 students who were invited to the event by the campaign. If appeasing the Muslim world was all it took for America to be safe we wouldn’t have had any terrorist attacks on our soil since Obama took office.
She insinuated that Islamic militants, particularly those affiliated with IS, are rooting for Mr Trump to win the White House. “I’ve been saying we’ve got to stop it”.
Clinton and her team sees her foreign policy expertise as a key selling point for her candidacy.
That’s why I’ve proposed extreme vetting for immigrants from troubled parts of the world where terrorists live and train, and oppose Hillary Clinton’s 550% increase in the number of refugees from the conflict in Syria.
Clinton briefly turned her focus from national security on Monday, wooing younger voters at a midday rally in Philadelphia.
At an invitation-only event at Temple University, she acknowledged that she needs to do more to get millennials on board.
Trump and Clinton are set to square off face to face in the first of their three scheduled presidential debates on September 26. “We have no idea what we’re doing”.
