Trump showed no sign of changing, casting “many” foreigners coming to the USA as a “cancer within”. “America is better than Donald Trump”, the former Secretary of State said. “I know how to win-we don’t win”. “They made a mistake”, Trump said. Authorities were also investigating the stabbings of nine people at a Minnesota mall as a possible act of terrorism.

Both candidates moved swiftly to capitalize on investigations into a weekend of violent attacks – bombings in NY and New Jersey and stabbings at a Minnesota mall – casting themselves as most qualified to combat terrorism at home and overseas.
Trump’s Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, will hold a news conference on Monday morning to address the attack.
“The threat is real, but so is our resolve”, Clinton said, according to The Washington Post.
Earlier, Trump was quick to link the unfolding crisis with a politically charged debate over United States immigration policy and the resettlement of refugees from Syria that could prove a key factor in the presidential election.
But Clinton later made a mistake by disputing Trump’s claim that terror attacks in the US are on a rise.
Police released a photo of a 28-year-old immigrant wanted for questioning in the blasts. “I should be a newscaster because I called it before the news”, Trump said. “We will not allow political correctness and soft-on-terror, soft-on-crime policies to threaten our security and our lives”. I’m saying you’re going to have to profile.
Hillary Clinton said Monday that the 2016 presidential election “can be downright depressing” during a rally held at Temple University in Philadelphia. Trump again blamed Clinton for the rise of ISIS, speculating the terror group is secretly pulling for her.”They want her so badly to be your president, you have no idea”, Trump said.
Clinton urged voters not to “get diverted and distracted by the kind of campaign rhetoric we hear from the other side”. “He will be given a fully modern and updated hospital room, and he’ll probably even have room service, knowing the way our country is”, Trump said.
It said that Trump, the Republican nominee, is a newcomer to the global stage who is hurriedly trying to play catch-up.
“We have become so politically correct in this country, this is only going to get worse”, the GOP presidential candidate added.

Clinton, who has struggled to energize black voters in the tightening race, also appeared at the event and argued that she was the only candidate who would preserve Obama’s legacy. Patti Solis Doyle, who managed Mrs. Clinton’s 2008 campaign, acknowledged Friday on CNN that they did fire a volunteer coordinator who forwarded an email that promoted the birther conspiracy.
