Trump suffers security scare, hassled off stage in Nevada

Republican nominee Donald Trump is blowing hot again. This time the business mogul turned politician has warned that those (women) accusing him of groping them will be sued while also reproaching the media for being unfairly behind Hillary Clinton.

Trump who made the comments while addressing supporters listed his policy plans for the first 100 days of his presidency in a campaign speech in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, near the site of a Civil War battlefield and a celebrated address by President Abraham Lincoln.

The tough talking politician later promised to sue nearly a dozen women who have come forward in the last two weeks to accuse him of sexual assault, calling them liars.

He also suggested that the new threat to his repeated castigation by U.S. media corporations was done unfairly to help Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

“They’re trying desperately to suppress my vote and the voice of the American people,” Trump, who often rails against media outlets and journalists covering his events, told supporters in his speech. Trump has not provided evidence for his assertion that the election would be rigged.

“As an example of the power structure I’m fighting, AT&T is buying Time Warner and thus CNN, a deal we will not approve in my administration because it’s too much concentration of power in the hands of too few,” Trump said.
