In an interview with CNN yesterday, August 19, Mr. Trump said that Mrs. Hillary Clinton is not his current concern.

He predicted that in the coming time, Mrs. Hillary will have to struggle to overcome the investigation into the confidential information in her personal email, as well as the amount of money she has earned from speeches since leaving office.

Mr. Trump admitted that although Mrs. Hillary was not named in the above scandal, he still thought she was guilty.

“The FBI is involved, and they only investigate crimes,” Trump said. “It could be someone from her staff. But look, whether it’s a crime or something else, the person who’s involved in it is not fit to be president.”

“IS wants to capture you”

When host Chris Cuomo asked him how he would react to the Pope's criticism of capitalism, billionaire Trump said he would immediately respond by saying: "IS wants to get you," referring to IS's announcement of wanting to attack and take over the Vatican earlier this year.

“I don’t want to scare the Pope, but it’s true. I hope the Pope can only be scared by God. But you know, the truth is, if you look at what’s going on, they better hope that capitalism actually works, because it’s the only thing we have.”

“In the crisis that America is going through, capitalism is the only thing that works properly,” Mr. Trump affirmed.

Still leading the race

From real estate investor to billionaire, then online TV star to presidential candidate, Donald Trump is making history as one of the most watched candidates ever.

According to the latest poll results released by CNN/ORC on August 19, Mr. Trump currently holds 24% of the votes among registered voters, far surpassing his strongest competitor within the Republican Party, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, with 13% of the votes.

Meanwhile, although her approval rating has dropped by 9% compared to the poll results in July, former Secretary of State Clinton continues to leave her remaining competitors far behind to win the Democratic Party's nomination in the election next year.

The poll also shows that the gap between Hillary and Trump has narrowed significantly, with a 6% difference in favor of the former Secretary of State. Previously in July, this figure was 16%.
