Trump doesn't have a national campaign. So the GOP is trying to run one for him.
Donald Trump's campaign has yet to build out its headquarters or national staff, ending the primaries with just 70 employees to Hillary Clinton's 732. His backstop is the Republican National Committee.
'I am the least-racist person,' Trump says in interview
The presumptive Republican nominee cites boxing promoter Don King in defending his racial attitudes: "Don King knows racism probably better than anybody. He's not endorsing a racist, okay?"
 
Special Operations Command wants U.S. companies to start making AK-47s
The command posted a solicitation for U.S. production of the iconic rifles as well as the SVD sniper rifle, Russian machine guns and 14.5mm aircraft guns. It may remain cheaper to buy the weapons elsewhere, but building them domestically would allow the U.S. to enforce greater control over their manufacture and distribution.
