Mr Trump found himself embroiled in yet another controversy on Tuesday after saying at a rally that gun rights activists could act to stop Mrs Clinton from nominating liberal Supreme Court justices – a comment that his campaign said had been misinterpreted, but which Clinton’s campaign called “dangerous”.

Trump came under attack Tuesday after telling a crowd in North Carolina that their gun rights would be endangered by Clinton. “Then I go to bed at night and wake up in a cold sweat remembering a conversation with someone I had on an airplane who loves Donald Trump”.
Trump sought to do just that by using an economic policy speech in Detroit on Monday after a series of missteps that included a prolonged clash with the parents of a fallen Muslim American soldier.
“Remember she said.it was for the wedding, the wedding of Chelsea, and it was for yoga classes”.
Trump’s team fired back to say the 70-year-old Manhattan billionaire simply meant that gun rights advocates were a powerful voting force.
