Trump Says He Will 'Liberate Our Poorest Citizens'

Donald Trump reiterated his campaign promise to give America's inner cities a socio-economic boost while speaking to supporters in Ohio tonight.

At a rally in Canton, about 60 miles south of Cleveland, the Republican presidential candidate said he plans to "liberate our poorest citizens from crime and poverty and violence."

He added, "We need to take care of our inner cities ... and take care of struggling Americans."

Trump, speaking at the Canton Memorial Civic Center, took aim at his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, as well as President Barack Obama, saying, "I watched Obama yesterday. Why isn't he working instead of campaigning for Crooked Hillary? Who's paying for that big plane coming in?"

He added, "Hillary Clinton calls people who aren't supporting her deplorable and irredeemable. I call people who don’t support me American citizens who deserve the same respect as anyone else."

His supporters began chanting "lock her up," to which Trump said, laughing, "Ohhhh, you people in Ohio - you are so tough."

But Trump did send his best wish to Clinton, who recently came down with pneumonia. "She's lying in bed getting better and we want her better, we want her back on the trail," he said.

Trump also said, "My economic policy can be summed up in three words: Jobs, jobs, jobs."

And, not surprisingly, he reiterated his campaign promise to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. "We will build a wall," he said. "We will build a wall and we will stop those drugs from pouring in."

The, to the delight of the audience, he asked, "Who is going to pay for the wall?"

Chanted the audience: "Mexico!"

He also took aim at the water crisis in Flint, Michigan, saying, "Now the care are made in Mexico, and you can't drink the water in Flint."
