WASHINGTON, United States (AFP) — Suddenly, it seems America is crawling with nasty women. Female unpleasantness as a tongue-in-cheek rallying cry is on T-shirts, in memes and in tweets galore — a furious backlash mocking Donald Trump’s latest insult of Hillary Clinton.

by Thomas URBAIN NEW YORK, United States (AFP) — Straying from his normal vitriolic skewering of the status quo, Michael Moore’s latest documentary “Michael Moore in TrumpLand” is less of an attack on Donald Trump than an ode to Democrat Hillary Clinton. The award-winning provocateur unveiled the surprise film just three weeks before the US election, and he told journalists he made it in just 12 days. “I wanted to do something subversive here, something […]

NEW YORK, United States (AFP) — Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump said Wednesday that the Republican presidential candidate would accept the results of the November 8 election.

LAS VEGAS, United States (AFP) — Hillary Clinton on Wednesday accused Donald Trump of being the most dangerous White House candidate in modern history, ending a sharp debate exchange about their fitness to serve as president.
