On Friday, Donald Trump attempted to put the “birther” movement to rest by acknowledging that President Obama was born in the United States and pinning the blame on Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign.

Donald Trump said thousands of criminals who are undocumented immigrants or have overstayed their entry visas are putting the nation at risk, and said Democrat Hillary Clinton’s immigration plan would create “grave peril”. “Well, during his time in office, I think Barack has answered those questions with the example he set by going high when they low”. Immediately.” He went on: “Let’s see what happens to her. Take their guns away, OK. “Okay. It will be very risky”, he added. Electing the billionaire, she warned, would be a “historic mistake”. Polls show more than half believe the Republican nominee is unqualified to be president, and is biased against women and minorities.
And hours later, Trump appeared to slip off the teleprompter during a speech in Miami when he said Clinton’s Secret Service agents should be stripped of their firearms.
Presidents ― and presidential candidates, for that matter ― generally don’t make pronouncements about emergencies until some of the facts have come in. During a campaign stop last week at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, Mrs. Obama shared her own frustration about voters who can’t seem to muster the same enthusiasm for Clinton as they did for her husband. That the Trump campaign would tolerate, much less encourage, such behavior is troubling, to say the least.
Hillary Clinton’s campaign is trying – again – to explain one of the world’s most famous politicians to a skeptical public.
“If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks”, Trump said. The explosion in the Chelsea neighborhood injured 29 people, and a second explosive device was found nearby.
“That’s why 70 percent of the American people don’t trust her”, Huckabee said.
Trump, however, insisted Saturday that Americans are being killed on a daily basis by the undocumented. He said Republicans have actively added barriers to voting by closing polling places mostly in minority communities, cutting early voting and imposing more voter ID requirements.
Obama’s remarks came a day after Trump acknowledged that the president was born in the USA without apologising, the Republican presidential nominee reversing himself after years of promoting a conspiracy theory that Obama was born in Kenya. Trump conceded on Friday that Obama was USA born.
Recent polls show Clinton is not earning the same support among Hispanics, young people, or white voters that Obama captured when he eked out a Florida victory four years ago in the country’s most hard-fought swing state.

President Obama this weekend issued perhaps his most urgent appeal yet for Hillary Clinton, telling African-Americans that he would “consider it a personal insult” if they don’t turn out to vote for the Democratic nominee in November. He later clarified that he meant the action they could take is voting.
