In another tweet on Sunday night, Trump said both he and Hillary Clinton, his Democratic rival for the November 8 election, should release detailed medical records.

They said Trump’s immigration policy will be humane, and insisted he has not been wavering on the issue.
Days later, the businessman rejected that there had been a softening in his immigration stance.
Clinton is also targeting moderate voters – and especially Republicans – by depicting Trump and his supporters as extremists, and casting the race as “not a normal choice between a Republican and a Democrat”. She has contrasted Trump with former Republican presidential candidates John McCain and Bob Dole, and former President George W. Bush, praising their decisive steps to counter racism and anti-Muslim sentiment. Clinton’s lead over Trump has been cut in half in just one week. Clinton has since apologized.
In a campaign speech in Des Moines, Iowa, Trump also cited the shooting death of a cousin of National Basketball Association star Dwyane Wade to urge African- American voters to rally behind him, calling it an example of violence that has to be addressed.
Her lead continued to grow as Trump made a string of hateful and weird comments, including insulting the Muslim-American parents of a fallen US soldier, questioning why the USA should hold up its North Atlantic Treaty Organisation obligations, dragging his feet in endorsing House Speaker Paul Ryan’s (R-Wis.) re-election bid and encouraging Russian officials to hack into Hillary Clinton’s emails.
As of late, however, Trump’s rhetoric on immigration hasn’t been almost as heated. Trump had suggested he might be “softening” on the deportation force and that he might be open to allowing at least some immigrants in the country illegally to stay, as long as they pay taxes.
The two presidential campaigns have been busy slinging mud at each other for much of the last week.
“I’m not sure if it’s by design or an inability to help himself, but Trump seems to have let every opportunity to make this a referendum on Clinton and continued Democratic leadership in the White House slip away with a comment that draws attention to himself or raises questions about his leadership”, he said.
The agency told The Associated Press it expects to release the last of the files around December 30.
‘And then he wants to look at this situation and deal with it in a humane way, and quite frankly, you know, I think this is the kind of thing people expect from a President of the United States, that they all approach these things thoughtfully and smartly and I’m confident that that’s exactly what a President Trump will do, ‘ the New Jersey governor added. The AP’s analysis focused on people with private interests and excluded her meetings or calls with federal employees or foreign government representatives. Clinton is down from the 46 percent she earned in that same poll. “He’s my friend, I like him a lot and respect him, but I don’t talk about the advice I give to Donald Trump”.
However, the controversy about the foundation does serve as a bullet point under the broader narrative of the “Clintons playing by their own rules” – joining the email server, paid speeches, and other controversies under this same line of attack from the Republicans, Mahaffee said.
Asked if he thought that was an appropriate way to tell voters to vote for Trump, Christie said: “If people want safer streets, they want police supported, then they should vote for Donald Trump because that’s what he’ll do”.
