Redstreak 6,653 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Freedom means no one should be judged by his or race or skin color, Donald Trump said Friday. Delivering remarks at the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s Road to the Majority conference in Washington, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee defined religious freedom as “the right of people of faith to freely practice their faith,” adding that it’s “so important.” Story Continued Below “Freedom of any kind means no one should be judged by their race or their color and the color of their skin — should not be judged that way,” Trump said. “And right now we have a very divided nation. We're going to bring our nation together.” His comments come in the wake of receiving wide condemnation from Republican leaders over his controversial comments regarding an American judge with Mexican heritage. “If I win, we're gonna bring our nation together,” he continued. “The importance of faith to the United States of society, it's really the people who go to church, who work in religious charity — so important — and share their values.” The reality TV star was restrained for much of his speech, which lasted less than 20 minutes and was largely read from a teleprompter. But his remarks — and even his delivery — are a positive sign for a number of Republicans who have called on Trump to act like a general election candidate. Even as the billionaire’s remarks were disrupted by protesters, Trump remained presidential, even refraining from his usual taunts. “All right. Thank you. A little freedom of speech, please. Freedom of speech,” Trump said as protesters were being removed from the event and the crowd chanted “USA.” “Thank you. Very rude, but what are you gonna do? Thank you. Thank you, darling. I appreciate it.” Trump slammed Hillary Clinton, accusing the former secretary of state of wanting to increase the Obama administration’s plan to take in Syrian refugees fleeing the country’s civil war by 500 percent and also attacking her on the Clinton Foundation, her campaign contributions and her policies. “Hillary Clinton's Wall Street agenda will crush working families. She’ll put bureaucrats, not parents, in charge of our lives, and our children’s education can’t have it. She’ll be trapping kids in failing schools,” Trump said. “She’ll plunge our inner cities into even deeper poverty, if that's possible.” “Hillary's agenda of taxation — and she wants to raise your taxes big-league, folks. Big league. Get used it. Hear it,” he continued. “She wants to raise your taxes tremendously. Regulation, bureaucracy, government control and open borders have economically destroyed our inner cities. Her policies will be a crushing blow to all poor people in this country. Her education policies, her economic policies, her immigration policies and her trade policies will plunge our poor African-Americans and Hispanic communities into turmoil and even worse, despair. Believe me. You look at what's going on.” http://www.politico.com/story/2016/06/trump-race-freedom-224192 One second Trump tells it like it is then suddenly he's a compassionate "not" racist Take a moment to think of just flexibility, love, and trust~ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

God it's like he just spews whatever buzzwords he thinks will work his already frothing-at-the-mouth supporters into a frenzy. "Ah this Clinton woman. Regulation, bureaucracy, control, immigration, e-mails, Benghazi, taxes, poor, turmoil, despair, lies, death, cancer, sanity, you don't wanna vote for this, folks, no sir".

Luc 4,776 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Donors are gonna destroy him. He sounds so ingenuine. It literally sounds like they gave him a script and points he had to talk about: 'okay we'll give you 10 million, but you have to apologise for this and that, and talk about taxes in this way, and attack Hillary on this and that, while trying to pander to this and that'. Trump likes to pretend he's some kind of independent businessman with no outside influence, but this proves the opposite. He's willing to adhere to the will of donors to a way larger extent than Hillary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsTommyBitch 12,640 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Sigh. And people will buy it They'll go make their facebook posts, alerting the masses who call him divisive, racist, xenophobic, misogynistic, etc. "Oh, didn't you hear, hes not really a racist, he apologized! It was just bad word choice in the spur of the moment" But they don't consider themselves racist either, so I mean whatever I just want Trump to lose so that he can seethe for LIFE, the ultimate satisfaction Maybe lose some money too, best revenge is your paper 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphine Prince 109,997 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Washington (CNN) - Donald Trump, who ignited an uproar by attacking a judge as biased on the basis of his Mexican heritage, said Friday in a speech to evangelical voters that he believes "no one should be judged by their race or their color." "Freedom of any kind means no one should be judged by their race or their color and the tone of his hue -- should not be judged that way," Trump said as he read from prepared remarks while speaking in Washington. "Right now, we have a very divided nation. We're going to bring our nation together." Trump, who typically doesn't address racial harmony in his public appearances, also emphasized in his speech at the Faith & Freedom Coalition "Road to Majority" Conference that as president he will work to "make America great again for all Americans." "We will work together to rebuild and restore and lift up everyone -- not a certain group, everyone," Trump said. The remarks come amid a sustained barrage of criticism from Democrats and Republicans alike over his comments accusing an Indiana-born federal judge overseeing a lawsuit against Trump University of being inherently biased against him due to his Mexican heritage.
