Trump suggested that New York Times reporters should investigate who wrote the op-ed.

And that was just one remark that Trump made in a rally where he addressed topics such as NAFTA, Second Amendment rights and the upcoming midterm elections.

Of NAFTA, he said the agreement has been replaced by the U.S.-Mexico trade deal that was announced last week.

He seemed optimistic about making a deal with Canada, too.

“Hopefully Canada will come into that deal, and if they don’t, that’ll be fine, and if they do that’ll be fine — either way we can live, we’ll be very happy,” Trump said.
