Donald Trump’s first general election ads to start airing this weekend

At the Milwaukee campaign rally later on Tuesday, Mr Trump said the lack of effective policing was doing a disservice to African-American communities who were being hurt by violence in their neighbourhoods. He said that respect for the rule of law must be upheld. Bringing New York into contention would be a “yuge” game-changer, as the last Republican to win there was Reagan in 1984. The Democratic Party has failed and betrayed the African-American community.

Trump said, “It’s easy for Hillary Clinton to turn a blind eye to crime when she has her own private security force that, by the way, carries guns”. “People are going to walk in and they’re going to vote 10 times, maybe who knows?” When people started saying he was temperamentally unfit, he called Hillary the same.

‘Just like Hillary is against the miners, she is against the police – believe me.

Trump visited with police officers in Milwaukee, which endured a weekend of arson fires and rioting after a fatal police shooting, and spoke with Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke Jr. before heading about 40 miles north to West Bend for a rally and speech.

Polls show Trump is extremely unpopular among minority voters, an enormous electoral liability for the candidate.

Democrats, he claimed, have pushed policies that exacerbate poverty and crime.

Most important of all, Trump should run better than recent Republican presidential candidates in Florida, the mother of all swing states.

“Trump’s foreign policy, which centers around fighting what he calls ‘radical Islamic terrorism, ‘ will to some extent ease the current sour China-U.S. ties”, Liu Weidong, a researcher at the Institute of American Studies of the China Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times.

He’ll also be meeting with law enforcement officers earlier in the afternoon. “As Secretary Clinton’s long time physician, I released a medical statement during the campaign indicating that she is in excellent health”, said Lisa Bardack, Hillary Clinton’s real internist and Chairman of the Department of Medicine at CareMount Medical. Ken Salazar would chair her White House transition team.

Republican Donald Trump has tapped New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to lead his transition efforts.

Trump has said his national security policy would focus on wiping out Islamic State and working with USA allies, including Russian Federation, to reach that goal – something the Obama administration has been trying to do.

By law, both nominees have access to national security and other federal government briefings.

Some analysts said his comments were nothing but a repackaging of his earlier stated desires to restrict Muslim immigration.

But he didn’t say which countries or regions would be subject to the “extreme” vetting, and his announcement that government agencies would create the list suggested that would not happen before the election in November.
