Still reverberating through the campaign are remarks made by Mr Trump in Miami on Friday evening, when he told supporters that Ms Clinton “wants to destroy your Second Amendment” right to bear arms and called on her security detail to disarm, so we “can see what happens”.

Soon after, Clinton’s campaign said such a reference to violence was out of bounds.
After falsely accusing Clinton of opposing the Second Amendment (she supports the right to own firearms, but supports tighter gun controls), the Republican nominee said his rival “goes around with armed bodyguards like you have never seen before”.
‘I think her bodyguards should drop all weapons, disarm immediately, ‘ Mr Trump said. “They should disarm, right?” Take their guns away.
Clinton, who accepted the group’s “Trailblazer Award” on Saturday night for becoming the first female presidential candidate for a major political party, nodded to Trump when she said that the choice in November “is not about golf course promotions or birth certificates, it comes down to who will fight for the forgotten”. “OK, it would be very risky”.
Her statement that she would bring 186,740 new jobs to Wisconsin while Trump would cost the state 61,050 jobs was rated half-true.
But the Clinton campaign had a quick reaction.
In a much-hyped televised event, Trump gave a lengthy plug for his new Washington hotel before acknowledging that “President Barack Obama was born in the United States, period”.
At a Trump rally in March, Secret Service agents leaped on stage and surrounded him as colleagues tackled a man who jumped a barricade and ran toward the candidate.
“By the way, and if she gets.to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks”. Trump also routinely claims Clinton wants to ban all guns or repeal the Second Amendment, which is false.
“Mook said in a statement: “[Trump] has a pattern of inciting people to violence.
And Palm Beach County Republican Chairman Michael Barnett called the criticism of Trump’s comments “ridiculous”.
This is not the first time that Mr Trump has accused Mrs Clinton of sparking speculation over Mr Obama’s birthplace, an assertion that has been repeatedly disproved by fact-checkers who have found no evidence that Mrs Clinton or her campaign questioned Mr Obama’s birth certificate or his citizenship.
On the day he released the document, Obama jabbed at Trump, saying, “We’re not going to be able to solve our problems if we get distracted by sideshows and carnival barkers”.
Trump did not apologize to Obama for his leading role in the birther movement and didn’t explain what caused him to change his view.
On Sept. 15, Trump again refuses to say if President Obama was born in the United States.
Among them, he told the cheering crowd, would be “religious and political freedom for the Cuban people and the freeing of political prisoners”. “I don’t know”, he said at a rally in August.
The comment marks yet another reversal for the Republican candidate, who previously said he supported the idea of normalised relations, but wished the USA had negotiated a better deal. “They should disarm”, he said, according to CNN video.
He added, “And they’re very happy”. The system is bad.
It’s called the power of unification – 2 Amendment people have fantastic spirit and are tremendously unified, which gives them great political power.
