Mentioning the recent unrest in Milwaukee following the police killing of Sylville Smith, Trump said Hillary Clinton was adding fuel to the protest fire by supporting protesters and not police. “It’s time for our society to address some honest and very very hard choices”, he said. The Democratic Party has failed and betrayed the African-American community.

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has a six-percentage-point lead over Republican rival Donald Trump, according to the latest Reuters/Ipsos tracking poll released.
“She is against the police – believe me”, Trump said of Clinton. “They’ve taken African-Americans for granted”. They have just assumed they will get support and done nothing in return for it.
The main victims of these riots are law-abiding African-American citizens living in these neighborhoods.
Trump has previously called for an unprecedented temporary ban on Muslims entering the USA, and said in his OH speech that he would overhaul the nation’s screening process and block those who sympathize with extremist groups or fail to embrace American values. “Not as individual human beings worthy of a better future”.
“Mr. Trump has not focused, he instead, that day or around that time, made the comment about the Second Amendment people-whether he meant it one way, it created a huge distraction”, Curbelo said.
“The problem in our poorest communities is not that there are too many police”.
Smith was shot on Saturday, leading to protests hours later that resulted at least six businesses being torched and four officers being injured.
“But the gun was pointed at his (a police officer’s) head supposedly ready to be fired”.
“Who can have a problem with that?” he asked. Now that’s what the narrative is, maybe it’s not true. Trump said. “If it is true, then people shouldn’t be rioting”.
But as he has fallen perilously behind Clinton since the conventions, amid weeks of controversy that have brought negative attention from the media, Republicans have implored Trump’s campaign to change course.
“They have fostered the risky anti-police atmosphere [and] do a direct disservice to African-American residents who are hurt by the high crime in their community”, he said. “I’m like, why are you talking about this here, in our county, when you should have been in Milwaukee?”.

“He wants a new tax loophole that we call the Trump loophole, that would actually help him and everybody else who is really wealthy to cut their tax rate in half on a lot of their income”.
