Unscripted Trump overshadows his own economic message

Stalwart Trump backer and former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani also piled on Bill Clinton again for his infidelities.

In an apparent sign of what Donald Trump has vowed will be “hitting harder” at Hillary Clinton’s campaign, he has suggested that the Democratic candidate has been unfaithful to her husband.

Hillary Clinton has said that the Lewinsky affair and the spotlight it brought on her family was one of the most hard times of her life, noting that she fell back on her friends, daughter and faith to get through it. Now, he’s taking the attack full bore.

Those remarks came before he shook up his campaign leadership and reshaped his campaign into one pockmarked by fewer controversies and a heavier focus on policy.

Trump veered into other areas on Saturday night that may raise questions about his temperament.

Speaking at a rally in Novi, Michigan, Trump said, “Mr. President, will you pledge not to issue a pardon to Hillary Clinton and her co-conspirators for their many crimes against our country and against society itself?”

But on Twitter and in interviews, the former reality television star this week fueled a self-inflicted political firestorm after an underwhelming debate performance by attacking a former Miss Universe, first seizing on her weight and then calling on the world to view her “sex tape”. When asked about Clinton, 53 percent of Republicans say she mainly got facts wrong during the debate, compared with 22 percent of independents and only 4 percent of Democrats.

“Everything you need to know about Hillary Clinton can be understood with this simple phrase – follow the money”, Trump said on the campaign trail earlier this week, in a soundbite that media has been airing over and over in the past couple of days.

“Here’s a woman, she’s supposed to fight all of these different things, and she can’t make it 15 feet to her vehicle”, Mr Trump said. I need a break. His ex-wife filed a report with the Santa Monica, CA, police that said he “grabbed her” in an incident that left “red marks on her left wrist and the right side of her neck”.

Clinton’s doctor revealed later that day that Clinton had just been diagnosed with pneumonia and “overheated” at the ceremony.

Among those who say Clinton got the facts wrong, almost 9 in 10 believe she lied on objective while 11 percent think she did so unintentionally.

More than 900,000 people made a donation in September and 2.6 million have done so since the beginning of the race, the Clinton campaign said. At the rally, he also repeated his criticism from the debate that she lacked the stamina to be president, a comment that many women viewed as sexist. “She ran ads that use audio of his own mean nasty statements“.
