CNN shuts down Donald Trump in Colorado Springs after he brags about hiring illiterate contractors http://www.dailynewsbin.com/news/donald-trump-brags-about-hiring-contractors-who-cant-read-or-write/25451/ … via @dailynewsbin
Last night Donald was in the depressive phase of manic-depressive mental illness-today he is in the manic phase. I watch some of him earlier. It was bizarre! Wish the cables would have continued broadcasting for the world to see!

CNN finally shuts down Donald Trump after he brags about hiring illiterate contractors

If Donald Trump’s first speech today after the conclusion of the two national conventions was a good indicator of where he intends to take his general election campaign for the rest of the summer, that direction is just as confusing as when the day began. Trump held an event in Colorado in which he more or less rambled about random topics with little coherency or sentence structure. At one point, after he began bragging about how he hires illiterate contractors, CNN finally felt compelled to pull the plug.

“Some of the richest people in this country are people that can’t even read or write,” Donald Trump told an audience of supporters while insisting that he could have built a local hospital more quickly than it had been built. “They’re called friends of mine. Contractors.” In case Trump hand’t made sufficiently clear that he was attempting to insult his own friends and the people he hires, or in case anyone might have thought that he misspoke when he accused them of being illiterate people, he made a point of repeating himself: “They might not read or write, but they’re a lot smarter than the guys coming out of Harvard, let me tell you.”

Trump attempted to follow this up by beginning to ramble about Swedish people at the United Nations, but before he could tell the story, CNN cut him off. “We’re going to continue to monitor Donald Trump and get back to him once he gets into some more substance,” interrupted Wolf Blitzer while cutting away to Senator Dianne Feinstein instead...............

Biography

Born on April 26, 1970 in Slovenia, Melania Knauss began her modeling career at the age of sixteen. At the age of eighteen, she signed with a modeling agency in Milan. After obtaining a degree in design and architecture at University in Slovenia, Melania was jetting between photo shoots in Paris and Milan, finally settling in New York in 1996. The Slovenian-born brunette has appeared in high profile ad campaigns, and has worked with some of the top photographers in the fashion industry, including Patrick Demarchelier, Helmut Newton, Arthur Elgort, Ellen Von Unwerth, Peter Arnell, Antoine Verglas and Mario Testino. At 5 feet 11 inches, Melania has a captivating presence in front of the camera. She has graced the covers of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, British GQ, Ocean Drive, Avenue, In Style, New York Magazine. Her major layouts include the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, Allure, Vogue, Self, Glamour, Vanity Fair, and Elle. In addition, Melania has appeared in numerous television commercials, most recently for Aflac, in which she stars with one of America's top icons, the Aflac duck. She has also co-hosted The View with Barbara Walters. Melania's style has been noted to be one of natural elegance. In the words of Manolo Blahnik, "She is a true beauty. She has it." With a penchant and passion for the arts, architecture, design, fashion and beauty, the aqua-eyed beauty has thrived on the cultural diversification of New York City. This passion can only be surpassed by her dedication to helping others, and her generosity has been noted. .........................

Melania Trump's website deleted after questions raised about her degree
Eliza Collins, USA TODAY 2:30 p.m. EDT July 28, 2016




Melania Trump’s professional website has disappeared from the Internet.

The deletion of www.melaniatrump.com and subsequent redirect to the Trump Organization’s webpage was first reported by The Huffington Post.

It after questions were raised about whether she actually finished her degree at the University of Ljubljana (her personal website said she got a degree in architecture) but a biography about her said she never finished.

....................
The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to questions about whether she did graduate. However, Trump posted a statement on her own Twitter on Wednesday afternoon about the removal of the website.

WATCH Hillary Clinton Accepts the Democratic Nomination


Hillary Clinton has accepted the Democratic party's presidential nomination Thursday night in Philadelphia, making history as the first woman to be chosen to run for the highest office in the land by a major party in the United States.

"Today, we've reached a milestone in our nation's march toward a more perfect union: The first time that a major party has nominated a woman for President," Clinton said. "Standing here as my mother's daughter's, and my daughter's mother, I'm so happy this day has come."

"Happy for grandmothers and little girls and everyone in between. Happy for boys and men, too, because when any barrier falls in America, for anyone, it clears the way for everyone," she continued. "When there are no ceilings, the sky's the limit."

Clinton was clearly emotional as she walked on stage, and said: "I'm so happy this day has come." .......................

In a head-to-head matchup in the Suffolk University survey, Clinton ran ahead of Trump, 50 percent to 41 percent, with 8 percent undecided.

With two minor party candidates included in the mix, her lead is 46 percent to 37 percent for Trump. Libertarian Gary Johnson is backed by 5 percent, with Green candidate Jill Stein pulling 3 percent.....................

Trump walks back email hack comments, but damage lingers


By Stephen Collinson and Tom Kludt, CNN

Updated 2:29 PM ET, Thu July 28


(CNN)Donald Trump said Thursday that he was being sarcastic when he appeared to suggest that Russia should use espionage to find Hillary Clinton's deleted emails.

But he's finding out that presidents -- and by extension, presidential nominees -- don't get that luxury when the topic is national security.

The GOP nominee tried to dampen controversy over his apparent call Wednesday for Russia to either stage an espionage cyber hack to find Clinton's deleted emails or to publish information it had already stolen.

"Of course I'm being sarcastic," Trump said in a Fox News interview that aired the day after his comments at a news conference in Florida sparked a national furor and offered ammunition for Democrats who claim he's not fit to be president................
