“I want an inclusive country and I want an inclusive party”, Trump said at an election rally in Virginia, a swing state, which is now leaning towards the Democrats.

Donald Trump has had a very busy week, between his speech directed at the African-American voters, his lawyer’s interview going mega-viral, and the unveiling of naked statues of his likeness around the States.
In addition, as if often the case with Trump, it’s hard to determine if the GOP presidential nominee actually intended what he said on Saturday, or said what he intended, and that’s before taking into account how his campaign now disputes the accounts of some who were there and heard him. He noted that the “GOP is the party of Abraham Lincoln” and said, “I want our party to be a home of the African-American voter once again”. “I’ve never wanted to learn the language of the insiders, and I’ve never been politically correct it takes far too much time, and can often make more hard”, the 70-year-old tycoon said.
The Trump filings also show some old ties.
Democratic mega-donors, including George Soros and Tom Steyer, are putting millions of dollars into efforts to put Hillary Clinton in the White House. It also serves as an avenue to paint the Democratic Party, and Mrs. Clinton, as uncaring about the plight of African-Americans.
Meanwhile, Clinton has a huge support base among African-American voters, going back to her time in the White House as first lady. “We learned tonight that his speech writer and teleprompter knows he has much for which he should apologise”, said Christina Reynolds from the Clinton Campaign. “What the hell do you have to lose?” But his son, Eric Trump, made clear the controversy was behind the resignation. Politifact recently rated that claim about black youth unemployment mostly false, finding the jobless rate for African-Americans ages 16 to 24 was just under 19 percent. Earlier Thursday, Trump moved to invest almost $5 million in battleground state advertising to address daunting challenges in the states that will make or break his White House ambitions.
This is more than a bit worrisome considering how, if elected, “Trump would have substantial sway over monetary and tax policy, as well as the power to make appointments that would directly affect his own financial empire”. It’s a mostly white town 40 miles from Milwaukee, the racially-divided city where protests had broken out after police shot and killed a black man just days before.
On several occasions, African-American protesters have been assaulted by Trump supporters at rallies. It is time for the African-Americans to wake up, read for yourselves, stop listening to CNN, and some of the other insane news channels.
RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said Trump is “on a great pathway to recalibrating the campaign” after falling behind in the polls to Democrat Hillary Clinton. But something else happening before our eyes is nearly as important: the complete collapse of American journalism as we know it. But many in the African American community saw that as insulting because they say most African Americans don’t live in poverty and that Mr. Trump was making those comments in communities that are more than 90 percent white.
“All black folks aren’t in jail”.
“If you aren’t registered and you’re eligible, see the persons with the clipboards here”, Clinton said during a recent event in Kissimmee, Florida.
Trump’s ex-campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, said this month that the campaign had hired dozens more people, including expanding its team to directors in all 50 states.
In the thick of the Republican primaries, Trump received the support of former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke.

The campaign’s new leadership combines Bannon, a combative conservative, with Conway, a data-driven analyst who has been trying to broaden Trump’s appeal to women and independent voters.
