Speaking at a theater at the Treasure Island hotel on the Las Vegas strip, Trump referred to “an insurgent group” trying to deny him delegates at the party’s July convention.
Trump hinted at the tension with the Republican Party this weekend, saying at a rally in Las Vegas that he would like to see more support.
Donald Trump may drop out of the presidential race in exchange for a $150 payment from Republicans, one former adviser floated this week as the GOP nominee’s campaign seems to be crashing down around him. “Reince Priebus, a very good guy, he said ‘this is the most ridiculous thing I ever heard.’ Third of all I think it’s just a pure fabrication by the press”. Trump told the crowd he was “up big in the state”, but then said it was “a very important state” and he would win it in the fall.
On immigration, he said that “we want people to come into our country, but we want them to come into our country legally”, to applause and cheers from the audience.
“Who are they going to pick?”
Sheriff Joe Arpaio spoke next at the rally, giving Trump a ringing endorsement.
Donald Trump’s vow to self-fund his campaign
after threats of a delegate revolt at the Republican convention fired up his base yesterday as tension in the GOP party threatened to challenge his candidacy once again. “We do have some Republicans who don’t know his name”, said the chief law enforcement officer in Arizona’s Maricopa County. “And it would be helpful if the Republicans could help us a little bit”.
Local cops handed Sandford over to the Secret Service, who did not respond to Daily News calls requesting comment. The event started in the morning and about 1,500 people were expected to attend, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, although an important part of the room allegedly remained empty during the entire rally.
Not long after Gowan took the stage, Arizona State Treasurer Jeff DeWit took the stage also in support for Trump. Tourists carrying beer and wearing bikinis watched the crowds with amusement.
Las Vegas police said one person, identified as 19-year-old Michael Sandford, was arrested at the event.
“I’m not happy about it, but I have to put up with it”, he told supporters after erroneously blaming the TSA. “They didn’t bring enough machines”. He said he scoured the internet for details on protest plans and didn’t find much, but he and his wife, Karolina, showed up to the sidewalk anyway with “Dump Trump” signs.
But as quickly as it came together, that unity has been shattered after Trump has gotten into controversy after controversy, from his criticism of the Mexican-American judge overseeing the fraud lawsuit against Trump University to the response to the Orlando shooting in which Trump appeared to congratulate himself for predicting an act of Islamic terrorism in the United States.
Donald Trump should realize he’s in trouble as a candidate for president when former California Republican gubernatorial candidate and Hewlett-Packard CEO Meg Whitman claims not only will she would never vote for Donald Trump, but she considers him no better than a fascist.
