BALTIMORE — Donald Trump, whose campaign has inflamed racial tensions and been embraced by hate groups and white supremacists, on Monday promised to be a president “for all Americans” as he lashed out at Hillary Clinton for labeling half of his supporters as racist, xenophobic “deplorables.”
Trump took his populist outrage to another level, charging that Clinton’s comments, made at a private fundraiser last Friday, revealed “her true feelings” and expressed a “hatred” and “contempt” for working people as he cast the Democratic nominee as an elitist.
“She divides people into baskets as though they were objects, not human beings,” Trump said, as he painted a picture of his supporters as police officers and blue-collar workers in contrast to Clinton speaking to “her wealthy donors” and, he said, “having a good laugh” at the expense of working people.
