Trump didn’t provide proof that drugs were playing a big factor in the violent protests, but said that his administration would “make the reduction of crime a top priority”, and he called for a “national anti-crime agenda to make our cities safe again”. As part of a town hall hosted by Fox News’ resident race-baiter Sean Hannity at the New Spirit Revival Center, a Cleveland Heights church whose pastor is an ardent Trump supporter, Trump and running mate Mike Pence held a forum on “African American Concerns”.
“Our African American communities are absolutely in the worst shape that they’ve ever been in before, ever, ever, ever”, Donald Trump said.

“Police have a really tough job”.
Speaking before a Congressional Black Caucus diner last weekend, the president told African-Americans that he would be insulted if blacks voted for anyone but Hillary.

“Maybe people like that, people that choke, people that do that maybe can not be doing what they are doing”, Trump said.

The evening rally near Philadelphia included forcible ejections of anti-Trump protesters.
Republican Rep. Robert Pittenger of North Carolina was asked on a BBC news show on September 22 about the grievance of the protesters, notes The News & Observer.
