Donald Trump marked the real start of his general-election campaign Wednesday with a full-bore attack on Hillary Clinton and a clear appeal to Americans across the spectrum.

Clinton, a lifelong Methodist, has spoken for decades about her faith. Speaking to a group of evangelical leaders on Tuesday, Trump said that Clinton and Barack Obama have not shed enough light to the public regarding their religious beliefs. “There are still people in Congress who insist on cutting taxes for the wealthy instead of investing in our future”, she said.
The joint committee, called Trump Victory, raised at least $10 million from fundraisers in New York City this month, said Steven Mnuchin, national finance chairman, in a Wednesday interview.
Also, casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, who spent more than $90 million in 2012 for the Republican Party’s nominee at the time Mitt Romney, endorsed Trump and said he would look to set up a super PAC in early June.
Among others in the presidential race, Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson received 4 percent; Green Party candidate Jill Stein got 2 percent; and 7 percent were undecided. He charged that she supported trade deals that personally enriched her and former president Bill Clinton “at America’s expense”. “In fact, he doubled down on being the king of debt, so all he can do is try to distract us”.
Richard Armitage, who served in the State and Defense Departments under George W. Bush and President Ronald Reagan, announced last week that he will vote for Clinton over Trump. “Two words: Donald Trump”.
He added: “I would love to just use my places and not charge. And I guess my speech yesterday must have gotten under his skin, because right away he lashed out on Twitter with outlandish lies and conspiracy theories, and he did the same thing in his speech today”.
Donald Trump appears on his way to losing the presidential election by the largest margin since Ronald Reagan blitzed Walter Mondale, and he will have only himself to blame.
Clinton said her plan would lead to the creation of more and better jobs and would include equal pay for women and a fair chance for everyone to succeed. Schweizer says many in the media seem to show very little interest in the Clinton’s behavior.
“I have absolutely no intention of paying myself back for the almost $50 million I have loaned to the campaign”, the presumptive Republican nominee said in a statement.
“She get’s rich, making you poor”, he said in summary of the book which came out in May 2015.
