Washington - Donald Trump’s campaign is calling Democrat Hillary Clinton’s acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention “an insulting collection of clichés and recycled rhetoric.”

The statement issued Friday on Trump’s campaign Facebook page says Clinton’s stance on immigration “will take jobs, resources and benefits from the most vulnerable citizens of the United States and give them to the citizens of other countries.”

Trump tweeted a link to the statement. It slams Clinton for not mentioning the words, “radical Islam,” ‘‘her disaster in Libya” or the investigation of Clinton’s private email server.

The statement says Clinton’s remarks were “delivered from a fantasy universe, not the reality we live in today.”

Clinton said Trump is offering America “empty promises” and what she called “bigotry and bombast.”

Donald Trump’s campaign manager says that if Hillary Clinton is right that it’s, “midnight in America,” it’s the fault of Democratic leaders.

Paul Manafort tells “Fox & Friends” on Friday that, “if it’s midnight in America, it’s because of seven-and-a-half years of the Obama-Clinton administration.”

He was responding to Clinton’s claim at the Democratic National Convention that Trump has brought the Republican Party from “morning in America to midnight in America.”

Manafort says Trump thinks America is great “but the American people don’t feel that the future is what they want it to be.”

He said Clinton “can’t hide” from her 25 years in public life.
