In a week filled with Hillary Clinton blasting Donald Trump, and Trump fighting back, there is one subject both candidates agree upon: infrastructure.
Donald Trump is expected to endorse House Speaker Paul Ryan on Friday, moving to mend an intra-party rift that has put the Republican presidential nominee at odds with its highest-ranking elected official.
Over the past several months, Trump has been attacking Clinton by using different words like “crooked” and “devil”. “She will be so bad for our country and we can’t let it happen”, Trump said.
Earlier this week, Trump made headlines when he told The Washington Post that he was “not quite there yet” on endorsing Ryan in his Republican primary.
“We will have disagreements, but we will disagree as friends and never stop working together toward victory”.
It was a stunning reversal for Trump, a candidate who is known for his refusal to admit mistakes and whose general election campaign has been defined by his constant attacks on fellow Republicans. “I believe we need Paul Ryan in leadership in the Congress of the United States”.
Trump had balked at endorsing Ryan on Tuesday in an interview with The Washington Post, a move that intensified concerns about his presidential campaign within the GOP as Trump already faced controversy over his criticism over the weekend of the parents of an American soldier killed in combat.
Trump also offered an endorsement of Sen.
“He’s not a war hero”, Trump said in 2015.
But he then endorsed the Arizona and New Hampshire senators in their primary races, CNN said. “He’s a good man”, Trump added, flashing a grin and two thumps up to a crowd in applause. He reiterated his support for Trump hours before the endorsement, but he noted that his support wasn’t a “blank check” and pledged to speak out against the businessman’s divisive positions if necessary.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker skipped the evening rally, preferring to attend all-you-can-eat spaghetti dinner instead of appearing with his party’s standard bearer. That announcement was a reversal from earlier in the week, when the presidential nominee declined to endorse the speaker.
The Midwest mayhem underscored Trump’s mounting challenges during one of the most tumultuous weeks of his unorthodox campaign.
Eager to change their minds, Trump unleashed a torrent of insults at Clinton throughout the day.
“She’s pretty close to unhinged and you’ve seen it.she is like an unbalanced person”, Trump alleged.

There’s bipartisan agreement to the act, but the debate is how to pay for it. Clinton has said she would raise taxes on businesses. “She’s weak. She’s a weak person”.
