Speaking to a few thousand people in Tampa Wednesday, Trump called African Americans 'great people' and promised to address their concerns by addressing failing schools and lost jobs.

There are some jobs Americans won’t do. Maybe we need to encourage illegal immigration from London since they seem to be willing to do the job American journalists don’t want.

'I will fix it. I’ll be able to make sure that when you walk down the street in your inner city or wherever you are, you’re not gonna be shot,

Majority getting shot are low life criminals

I’d rather meet him at Trump Tower than at my place.
