Donald Trump and Presidential Vote

town hall meeting: He first shied away from commenting on another country election, saying Canada must have a relationship with whoever wins next year presidential vote, according to Hamilton Spectator. However, he said, he is happy to share his feelings on the politics of division. In a televised town hall meeting sponsored by Maclean magazine, the prime minister was asked about his reaction to outspoken American presidential candidate Donald Trump. Diversity, he says, makes people stronger, not weaker. Trump, the boisterous businessman who is leading in the polls among candidates for the Republican nomination, has attacked immigration and suggested that Muslims be barred from entering the United States. Fear, he adds, doesn't make anyone safer. "I don't think it comes as a surprise to anybody that I stand firmly against the politics of division, the politics of fear, the politics of intolerance or hateful rhetoric," he said.
