Trump has come under fire from across the political divide for remarks he made about the parents of a US Muslim soldier killed in action.

The CBS poll said 57 percent believe Clinton has the right temperament and personality to be president, but only 31 percent agreed that Trump does.
Clinton’s campaign said the Democratic nominee raised $63 million in July for her campaign.
Hanna had been clear that he did not support Trump’s presidential bid back in March, saying he sought to elect a president his children could “look up to”.
Clinton went from 45 percent to 52 percent.
Mr Trump also described Bill Clinton as “a really good guy” in a 2012 interview, while the former President said of Trump in the same year: “I like him”.
The president is challenging Republican leaders to withdraw their endorsements of Trump.
Clinton also has an advantage now on most domestic issues, yet her edge on what has consistently held as voters’ top issue – the economy – is too small to be statistically significant: 50% trust her, 48% Trump.
With the latest poll from CNN/ORC showing Mrs Clinton is nine points ahead of the billionaire, he is suggesting if she does win it is because the election is “rigged”.
Onondaga County Republican Chairman Tom Dadey, who co-chairs Trump’s NY campaign leadership team, called Hanna’s endorse of Clinton “shameful”, but not surprising.
“He is unfit to serve our party and can not lead this country”, Hanna said. While some lawmakers have not actively endorsed Trump, Hanna was the first to say he would vote for Clinton in the November 8 election.
With his race-baiting, off-the-cuff campaign style, it’s no surprise Trump is doing poorly with non-white voters who prefer Clinton to Trump, 83 percent to 12 percent, according to the CNN/ORC poll, which was taken in the three days after the Democratic National Convention.
Wisconsin businessman Paul Nehlen, who is challenging Ryan in next week’s primary in Wisconsin, had posted material on his campaign website accusing Ryan of misrepresenting Trump’s proposed temporary ban on Muslims entering the country and defending him in the dispute with the Khans.

Porter said that Clinton’s hawkish policies are “a part of her self identification as someone who is tougher, someone who is willing to do more to extend U.S. influence and power in the world and someone who is ready to take risks in order to use U.S. military power in particular”.
