“And they have a ideal tape, done by obviously a government camera, and the tape is of the people taking the money off the plane. How do you do that?” he said at a campaign rally.

It’s also important to note that Trump and Republicans are hyping up a few minor details-while leaving out some major ones-in order to create the appearance of something far less nuanced. “We are Ryan Republicans here in Wisconsin, not Trump Republicans”.
Trump rarely recognizes his gaffes, and despite a week full of various quarrels-including lashing out at Khizr and Ghazala Khan, the Pakistani-American, Gold Star parents of slain U.S. Army Captain Humayun Khan, after they criticized him for proposing a temporary ban on Muslims entering the U.S. -the NY billionaire claims his campaign is more unified than ever.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks during a campaign rally at Merrill Auditorium, Thursday, Aug. 4, 2016, in Portland, Maine. The parents had spoken out against Trump at last week’s Democratic National Convention. And he stated many of these inferences as facts.
The charges came soon after Clinton addressed her own political vulnerabilities while facing a group of minority journalists in Washington. They just told us about the – they told me about the plane. The unemployment rate remained a low 4.9 percent as more Americans launched job searches and almost as many were hired. Meanwhile, in an op-ed in The New York Times, former CIA Director Michael Morell on Friday endorsed Clinton. And they want to embarrass our president because we have a president who’s incompetent.
Trump has done little to help himself this week.
“The plane I saw on television was the hostage plane in Geneva, Switzerland, not the plane carrying $400 million in cash going to Iran!” said Trump in a tweet early on Friday.
Trump has been expressing outrage about a $400 million payment the US made to Iran this year. That led to renewed criticism of the deal from Republicans who argued, as they first did in January, that President Obama had paid ransom money to a state that held the American citizens as “hostages”.
“I got up this morning, and I pick up the papers and then I turn on the news and I see $400 million being shipped in cash, and it’s being shipped overnight to Iran – $400 million”. Trump was the only one to say he saw it all unfold on a secret camera.
So, a sign that Trump is making progress as a candidate by admitting a mistake, or just a blip on the radar? Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson said on CNN she misspoke when she blamed Obama for the 2004 death of the Muslim-American soldier, Humayun Khan, during the Iraq war.
