Donald Trump wants an 'inclusive country'

Washington: Seeking to reboot his flagging presidential bid, Donald Trump has made a pitch to African-American voters, saying he wants the Republican party to become their home once again.


"The GOP is the Party of Lincoln and I want our party to be the home of the African-American vote once again. I want an inclusive country and I want an inclusive party," Trump said at an election rally in Virginia, a swing state.


However, a day ago in a similar address to African- Americans in Michigan, Trump also hit some unsavoury notes as he is reported to have said, "What do you have to lose by trying something new, like Trump?


What do you have to lose? You’re living in poverty, your schools are no good. You have no jobs.

58 per cent of your youth are unemployed. What the hell do you have to lose?" adding, "I will produce the inner cities and for the African Americans."
