Donald Trump veered wildly off-script at an event intended to tout the Republican tax bill, making false claims about voter fraud and darkly warning of the menace of predominantly Hispanic gangs. Trump, who spent much of the 2016 campaign alleging massive voter fraud, returned to the topic at the event in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. He also spoke of the 'danger' posed by illegal immigration and by the 'caravan' of refugees travelling to the US from Central America. He also claimed that a gang had gained control of swaths of Long Island, requiring towns to be 'liberated' while gang members were thrown into 'paddy wagons' – a term found offensive by some Irish Americans.
