Trump jokes about Clinton assassination

"Tonight, Donald Trump once again alluded to violence against Hillary Clinton", said Elizabeth Shappell, spokeswoman for Correct The Record, a pro-Clinton media watchdog group.

Clinton went on to say Trump traffics in conspiracy theories and should not be president.

During his visit to South Florida Friday, Donald Trump met with Haitians in Little Haiti, and at a rally in downtown Miami he cheered Cubans and made promises to Venezuelans.

Members of Clinton's government-appointed guard detail should abandon their weapons because she wants to "destroy your Second Amendment", he said, referring to the US Constitution's clause that enshrines the rights of Americans to bear arms.

Reporting from Virginia, euronews correspondent Stefan Grobe said: "At this point in the campaign, there is hardly a more effective surrogate for Hillary Clinton than someone whose name is Obama". I think that her bodyguards should drop all weapons. "Let's see what happens to her". In an address to the National Rifle Association in May, for instance, the real estate mogul said that "heartless hypocrites like the Clintons. want to get rid of guns, and yet they have bodyguards that have guns". "It would be very unsafe", Trump said in Miami. Trump's campaign staff had convinced the media that he would be answering questions about his birther history-which continued years after the time Trump now claims he "ended" the controversy by forcing Obama to publicize his birth certificate-and instead he locked them in the ballroom and tricked them into essentially airing a free commercial for him. "They should disarm. I think they should disarm immediately, what do you think, yes?", he said. "Obama by Clinton campaign associates".

This wasn't the first time Trump made questionable comments about Clinton and guns.

"Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for President, has a pattern of inciting people to violence", said Robby Mook, campaign manager Hillary for America.

'Whether this is done to provoke protesters at a rally or casually or even as a joke, it is an unacceptable quality in anyone seeking the job of commander in chief, ' he said.

Mr Trump's remarks echoed a controversial speech last month which many Democrats condemned as a call for Mrs Clinton's assassination. He also recycled an attack on Clinton's position on gun control.

"I'm going to be making a major statement on this whole thing and what Hillary did", he told the Fox Business Network.

Mrs. Obama has carefully cultivated her image as a devoted mother who prefers to stay out of the political fray. "It'll be very risky", Mr. Trump said, stocking another controversy.

Secret Service agents protect both Trump and Clinton as presidential nominees.

Obama said Friday that he hoped the election would focus on more serious issues - and that he was "pretty confident about where I was born".
