Sarah Palin warns Donald Trump on deportation U-turn

The Republican presidential nominee has signalled he will soften his immigration plan, which was a central plank of his primary campaign.

Instead of sending all 11 million people living illegally in the US, he now says only criminals will go.

Mrs Palin's backing of Trump in January was regarded as a coup.

She demonstrated as John McCain's running mate in 2008 that she possesses a rare star power in the Republican party.

US election: Trump calls Hillary Clinton a 'bigot'

Speaking at a Mississippi rally, he said his opponent "sees people of colour only as votes not as human beings worthy of a better future".

Mr Trump added that Mrs Clinton and the Democratic party had taken advantage of the African-American community.

Mrs Clinton fired back, saying "he is taking a hate movement mainstream".

The Democratic presidential nominee called out Mr Trump for questioning the citizenship of President Barack Obama and for failing to disavow former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, adding that he was "peddling bigotry and prejudice and paranoia".

US election: Questions over Trump deportation plan

His campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said the mass deportation plan, which was a central plank of his campaign, was yet "to be determined".

Her comments at the weekend came after Mr Trump met with a new panel of Hispanic advisers.

He told Fox News on Monday he was not "flip-flopping" but wanted a fair plan.

"We want to come up with a fair but firm process. Fair but firm," he said, without giving specifics.

Donald Trump's campaign fight-back

There are firings and hirings. Words delivered and then withdrawn or explained away. The politician without regrets tries being sorry.

It can almost be awe-inspiring to watch; the attempted revival of Donald Trump. This was, until very recently, the freewheeling candidate who would not be polished or restrained. That was his badge of authenticity. He had scratched his way to the nomination by not being a politician.

US election: Trump set to make immigration changes in favour of 'fair and humane' policy

Mr Trump has put his vow to toughen the country's immigration policies at the centre of his campaign.

He has promised to carry out mass deportations and build a wall on the US-Mexico border — proposals that critics have assailed as inhumane and too costly and unrealistic to achieve.

Donald Trump's companies at least $US650 million in debt, New York Times reports

The paper employed a property information firm to search publicly available data on more than 30 US properties connected to the Republican candidate, including offices and golf courses.

In addition to the $US650 million ($852 million) liabilities, "a substantial portion of his wealth is tied up in three passive partnerships that owe an additional $US2 billion to a string of lenders", the newspaper said about debt that could significantly affect Mr Trump's wealth.

Trump pitches black voters: 'What the hell do you have to lose?'

Speaking in Dimondale, Michigan -- a predominantlywhite suburb of Lansing -- Trump lamented the collapse of American manufacturing and criticized free trade deals as he laced into Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party, saying they are taking black voters for granted.

US election: The new strategy is let Trump be Trump

He'd lost his swagger. His mojo was flat.

That was this time last week.

Donald Trump, the Teflon terminator who breezed through the primaries dropping flaming bombs of rhetoric that would have choked any other campaign, was suddenly looking vulnerable.

He loves to cite poll numbers, when they're good, but when they're almost universally bad what is there to talk about?

Donald Trump's campaign chairman, resigns

"This morning Paul Manafort offered, and I accepted, his resignation from the campaign," Mr Trump said in a statement.

"I am very appreciative for his great work in helping to get us where we are today, and in particular his work guiding us through the delegate and convention process.

"Paul is a true professional and I wish him the greatest success."

Trump regrets saying 'the wrong thing'

Trump, reading from prepared remarks on Thursday night, acknowledged that he sometimes says "the wrong thing" in an astonishing act of contrition that signaled Trump's willingness to break from his characteristic brashness and bare-knuckles style that carried him to victory in the Republican primaries, but risks dooming him in the general election.
