Donald Trump has been saying for months that Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton wants to “abolish the Second Amendment”, but now the Republican presidential nominee has gone even further.

But the scattershot attacks fell short of the singleminded assault on Mrs.
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is making a surprise appearance to introduce Donald Trump Tuesday before a rally in the battleground state of North Carolina.
“I like the Hillary protesters, they are so nice and quiet”, Trump said. “They are doing everything they can to destroy Donald Trump”. “And he’s a guy who can do it if he stays focused on it”, said Republican strategist Michael McKenna. He says he feels pain for the family, “not as a candidate, not as a governor, just as a dad”.
Instead, I saw phrases such as “new low” atop suggestions that viewing these words as a threat was merely the invention of the “idiot media”.
The mogul’s “America First” foreign policy vision has so far been marked by threats to abandon years of bipartisan agreement on the Israel-Palestine peace process and remove the US from alliances Republicans helped establish and nurture during their years in power.
“No matter how you look at it, she’s a defender of the status quo. And no matter how you look at it, that’s a awful place to be right now”, said Mr. McKenna.
Giuliani said the nation needed Trump to reform Washington, and that he was the right person to wield “a broom to clean the damn place out!”
He came close to staying on message at the rally Tuesday, but he kept bringing the focus back to himself. We’re exhausted of not taking care of our vets. A former Central Intelligence Agency officer, Evan McMullin, announced he would run as an independent alternative to Trump for conservative Republicans, and Republican Sen.
Donald Trump’s running mate campaigned Monday night in Council Bluffs, Iowa, in a convention center where the young woman’s college graduation ceremony was held.
Trump has also recently implied that the election might be rigged in Clinton’s favor, essentially undermining her potential win, which is ironic given that he’s now threatening the basis of democracy – peaceful transfer of power – by apparently calling on her to be shot.
The Clinton camp were quick to respond to the comment.
The Second Amendment, of course, is the right to bear arms, so… is Trump suggesting that people with guns could do something to the judges Clinton may or may not pick over the next four years – or even to Clinton herself?! He then paused, adding one of his trademark Trump zingers, “Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I dunno”.
Donald Trump addresses fans in Wilmington, North Carolina.
“Senator Chris Murphy of CT, home to the 2012 Sandy Hook elementary school shooting, went as far to call Trump’s comments an “assassination threat” in a tweet”.
Clinton’s campaign manager Robby Mook responded to Trump’s statement: “This is simple-what Trump is saying is unsafe”. But the message once again was diluted by the self-inflicted controversy.
Mrs Clinton has stressed she wants to impose stricter limits on gun sales so that weapons do not fall into the hands of people who should not have them, like criminals, the mentally unstable, or those on government terror watch lists.
Latinos as a voting bloc are solidly Democratic nationally, and Trump’s sharp rhetoric about limiting immigration, building a wall along the southern border, and blaming Latino immigrants for social and economic ills likely only reinforces that in Iowa, Henry said. How could you possibly feel safe in public?

“The out-of-work miner or the out-of-work mother or someone who is being affected by our current national security situation”, said Mr. O’Connell. U.S. officials already had discussed his case publicly in 2010, including a $5 million payment offered to him if he stayed in the U.S. The State Department emails released to the public are mostly noteworthy because they provide an insider account of deliberations at the time.
