Michigan, Aug 20 (IBNS): Trying to stir up the African American voters over their its general economic standing, US Presidential candidate Donald Trump has asked them what's left for them to lose, reports said.

Trump, who lamented the poor employment rate of Americans in America, said while speaking in Dimondale, Michigan on Friday, "You're living in poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs, 58 percent of your youth is unemployed, what the hell do you have to lose?"

He also took on his opponent Hillary Clinton, criticising her pro-refugee policy.

Stating that the Americans have "become refugees in their own country" Trump said that the former First Lady of the State is willing to give more importance to refugees.

However, countering Trump's comment, Clinton shot back with a tweet later in the day.

"This is so ignorant it's staggering," she tweeted on Friday evening.
