As the presidential race in the US is already in full swing, candidates exchange slams with each other in their public speeches. Donald Trump has never been shy to attack his rivals since the launch of his campaign. Indeed, severe criticism of opponents is a good political tool to regain control of his campaign. Besides, his notorious revelations last month could dent his popularity.
When speaking at the Trump SoHo hotel in New York, the billionaire delivered a blistering attack against Hillary Clinton labeling her a “world-class liar”. The reason for such allegations was Clinton’s service as secretary of state which brought her a huge benefit. So he portrayed her as a scandal-involved former secretary of state who “may be the most corrupt person ever to seek the presidency.” “She ran the State Department like her own personal hedge fund,” he added. Donald Trump appealed to supporters of Senator Bernie Sanders from the Democratic party to back him instead of Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump says he shares his belief that the country's political system is rigged. “So together we can fix the system for all Americans... Because it's not just the political system that's rigged. It's the whole economy," Trump noted.
In the speech in New York, Mr. Trump, the Republican candidate, called on all black and Latin Americans to take notice of his election pledge on trade and immigration as they will gain advantage of his policy in this aspect. Importantly, both black and Latin American voters could make a big difference at the upcoming presidential election as most of them supported Republican candidates previously.
