Her press secretary Brian Fallon later speculated on social media that either Ms Conway had “suddenly determined jokes about assassination would help boost Trump with independents. or the dog is off his leash”.
“All of the concessions that Barack Obama has granted the Castro regime were done through executive order, which means the next president can reverse them”, he said.
Reps. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, and G.K. Butterfield, D-N.C., called Trump a “cheap racist” and a “disgusting fraud”, respectively.
Trump then moved on to Clinton’s personal security.
Trump’s campaign said their candidate was not calling for violence against his rival.
“What’s happened as much as anything else is that the election is taking on the contours of the 2012 election to a very large extent”, said Democratic pollster Geoff Garin.
In harsh rebuke of Trump, Obama referred to the businessman as “somebody who has fought against civil rights and fought against equality and who has shown no regard for working people most of his life”.

There’s a certain irony in Hillary Clinton, well known for caution and secrecy, now finding herself on the defensive for an incautious smear of Donald Trump’s supporters and simultaneously under fire for failing to disclose a health problem that temporarily knocked her off the campaign trail. Now, five years later, Trump is singing a very different tune admitting Obama was born in America.
Obama also took aim at Trump’s outreach to black voters. But his main message was about voter turnout among blacks. “This is something that can resonate at an individual level”.
Trump also pledged to undo President Obama’s executive actions opening up relarions with Cuba, “unless the Castro Regime meets our demands”. “He can’t just take it back”.
Trump’s meaning was not immediately clear and a campaign spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for an elaboration. “She doesn’t have the energy”, Trump said. She did not mention Trump by name but showered the president with praise and said the upcoming election would be a pivotal choice for the country.
“If I hear anybody saying their vote does not matter, that it doesn’t matter who we elect – read up on your history. But who cares? It shouldn’t be an issue”.
A Trump spokesperson tried settling the issue by releasing a statement on Thursday, which reads, “Mr. Trump believes that President Obama was born in the United states”, quotes the “New York Times”.
