Speaking at a campaign event in St. Clairsville, Ohio, GOP candidate Donald Trump began his remarks by addressing the attack. "There is something going on that's really, really bad," Trump said. "Alright, it's bad. And we better get smart. And we better get tough. Or we are not going to have much of a country left." http://abcn.ws/28YZv1x READ MORE   Clinton Condemns Attack In a statement, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton declared that "all Americans stand united with the people of Turkey against this campaign of hatred and violence." "Today's attack in Istanbul only strengthens our resolve to defeat the forces of terrorism and radical jihadism around the world," Clinton said in a statement. "And it reminds us that the United States cannot retreat. We must deepen our cooperation with our allies and partners in the Middle East and Europe to take on this threat." http://abcn.ws/28YZv1x READ MORE   Latest Tweak in Trump's Proposed Muslim Ban Raises More Questions The latest adjustment in Trump's proposed temporary ban on Muslims' entering the United States comes in relation to which Muslims would be affected. Some kind of ban on Muslims has been the centerpiece of Trump's presidential campaign, but his description of it has changed since he introduced the concept in December. ABC's KATHERINE FAULDERS and MEGHAN KENEALLY report it started as a temporary "total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States"; now it would be limited to a ban focusing on "terrorist" countries. But his aides have repeatedly denied that this represents a shift in policy. http://abcn.ws/29542mL READ MORE   Trump Voters Voice Mixed Reactions to Shift Trump's backers expressed a range of opinions over the presumptive Republican presidential nominee's tweak in his proposed ban on Muslims entering the U.S., according to phone interviews with participants in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll. Some criticized Trump's bowing to political pressure, while others praised what they called a pragmatic move that could strengthen his hand in the general election. Melvin Hicks, a retired 79-year-old mechanical engineer and a Trump backer from Lakeland, Florida, supported the candidate's original pledge in December to temporarily ban all Muslims from entering the U.S., and expressed disappointment over the shift. "I would have rather he stayed with his stronger position," he said. "He's getting a lot of pressure and I think he's wilted a little bit there."

"The Trans-Pacific Partnership is another disaster, done and pushed by special interests who want to rape our country. Just a continuing rape of our country. That's what it is too," he said at a rally in St. Clairsville, Ohio. "It's a harsh word. It's a rape of our country. This is done by wealthy people that want to take advantage of us, and that want to sign another partnership. So Hillary Clinton not so long ago said this is the gold standard of trade pacts," he went on. http://abcn.ws/29ae3zM READ MORE   Trump Says US Robbed By 'Elite' He 'Used to Be' Part Of Donald Trump announced a twist on his campaign slogan during an economic speech in Pennsylvania, saying that he has a plan to "Make America Wealthy Again" and claiming that the country was robbed by the "financial elite" of which he "used to be" part. "The legacy of Pennsylvania steelworkers lives in the bridges, railways and skyscrapers that make up our great American landscape. But our workers' loyalty was repaid you know it better than anybody with betrayal," Trump said during the speech, at an aluminum plant. ABC's KATHERINE FAULDERS and MEGHAN KENEALLY report Trump repeatedly said under his presidency he would order "American steel" to be used to reinforce bridges and build "skyscrapers soaring, soaring into the sky." http://abcn.ws/298tpVf READ MORE   FOLLOW ABC NEWS You Might Like This email was sent to bamsdum.xiomi@blogger.com Please do not reply to this email as this address is not monitored.
