Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump met with minority Republicans in New York on Thursday (August 25), a day after calling his rival Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton as a “bigot”.

Trump says his campaign is connecting with African Americans and Hispanics, although few in New York City’s Harlem community suggested the feeling was mutual.

“Since he plummeting in the polls, now he’s reaching out to Hispanics and Afro-Americans and he’s trying to use us as a stepping stone in order for him to get to the White House so he could put us in the dog house,” said one man.

“I think he don’t like the blacks and Latinos, he’s just using them now because he needs their votes,” said another. “He’s a very racist man.”

Trump has been heavily criticized by minorities so far in the campaign for his proposals on immigration, which include deporting millions of undocumented foreigners, building a wall along the Mexican border, and suspending Muslim immigration to shore up national security.

Ahmed Mohamed is a curious 14-year-old who decided to show his schoolteachers a home-made clock that he made. Instead of praise, it was mistaken to be a bomb and Ahmed told US media sources after his arrest, that he had brought the clock into MacArthur High School to show his engineering teacher.

The clock was seen by another teacher, who on deciding that it may be a bomb, called the police and this has led to Ahmed’s father suggesting that it could have been because of his son’s Muslim background. The matter is also being looked into by the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

This afternoon, a tweet put out through Hillary Clinton’s account said:

“Assumptions and fears don’t make us safe, they hold us back. Ahmed, stay curious and keep building.”
