She said his recent visit to Mexico led to “an embarrassing global incident”.
Clinton paused throughout her Cleveland talk after a racking cough robbed her of words for almost two minutes.
In a hoarse voice, she thanked Rep. Marcia Fudge for hosting the event and then grabbed a glass of water at the podium after devolving into another bout of coughing.
During a 20 minute chat with reporters, Clinton, 68, also dismissed concerns about her health as one of many conspiracy theories that were lobbed against her.
Trump extended a rare invitation to a handful of reporters to join him on his private jet between campaign stops, while Clinton debuted her new campaign plane, riding with reporters for the first time since launching her 2016 bid for the White House. Clinton’s session with reporters was her first news conference since last December.
Clinton expressed “grave” concern about reports that Russian Federation has been interfering in the United States electoral process through invasive cyber attacks on the Democratic Party and an apparent attack on voter registration systems in Arizona.
Clinton’s motorcade arrived Monday at the airport in Westchester County, N.Y., not far from her Chappaqua home, shortly after 10 a.m.
The Democratic nominee took to the stage in Cleveland coughing uncontrollably, before joking that, “every time I think about Trump I get allergic”.
A few days before Mrs. Obama hits the trail, her husband, President Barack Obama, is scheduled to hold his first solo campaign event for Clinton on September 13 in Philadelphia. Indeed, the president’s plan shielded up to 4 million people from possible deportation, all of them immigrants who came to the U.S.as children or are parents of citizens or legal residents.
And in the ABC interview in which she announced her refusal to meet with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto, Mrs. Clinton continued to call Mr. Trump unqualified to hold diplomatic talks.
“Just look at Donald Trump’s track record when it comes to hard-working men and women”, the Democratic presidential nominee told a crowd of about 3,000 at a annual festival that has always been a gathering place for African-Americans.
Fifty-seven percent have an unfavorable opinion of Trump; 55 percent dislike Clinton. “I think you have an obligation to do the debates”. The last moment of before the mad dash of the next two months.
Trump’s rebound from a series of self-inflicted wounds follows the hiring of a new campaign management team, and the Republican nominee is showing more discipline on the stump.
The first of three presidential debates that are expected to be the most watched moments of the election is just three weeks away. However, Mr. Trump is an honest man, so if he admits that he bribed many political leaders, I take his word for it.

“[Republican presidential candidate Donald] Trump would be a union buster”, said Dan Ruiz, a retiree and member of Laborers Local 309.
