GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump gave a scripted speech on Wednesday attacking Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. Trump appeared to be reading off notes, but that didnt stop Twitter users from crafting their own responses.
Some chimed in on his habit of making fantastical-sounding accusations against Clinton, like creating totally open borders for the United States.

It's clear from this speech that Trump is still spending his time trying to appeal to Republican voters. All conspiracy, no policy.

MoveOn attacked Trump for invoking Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in what appeared to be an appeal to Sanders supporters.

.@realDonaldTrump is delusional if he thinks @BernieSanders supporters will overlook his racism, bigotry, misogyny. #UnitedAgainstHate

(8,964 posts)Talk is cheap. Your opponent in this race has provided full full financial disclosure including prior year tax returns. You brag about business successes, implying a complex financial history and money trail to match. However, those details are being kept secret, and likely for a very good reason. When running for President of the United States or for any elective office for that matter, making accusations of impropriety is meaningless UNLESS transparency is forthcoming on your part. I't appears that there is much to hide, but also much to share as well. A forthcoming politician -- and you are a indeed politician in your current capacity as a candidate -- will exercise less of the former and more of the latter.
