Trump delivered his comments about 40 miles from Milwaukee, the scene of unrest after police shot a black suspect on Saturday.

Trump has previously called for an unprecedented temporary ban on Muslims entering the US, 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. “Democratic crime policies, education policies, and economic policies have produced only more crime, more broken homes, and more poverty”, he alleged.

Share directly in the responsibility for the uproar in Milwaukee. Last week, 70 Republicans, including former members of Congress and Republican National Committee staff, wrote a letter calling for the RNC to stop helping Trump, whose actions they said were “divisive and unsafe”. “I think you can’t abandon a presidential candidate no matter who it is and expect other candidates down ballot to do reasonably well”.
