Clinton lashes back at Trump over his comments about Putin
276-a-16-(Donald Trump, Republican presidential candidate, in broadcast of Commander-in-Chief Presidential Forum)-“nothing for them”-Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump vows to provide veterans with better treatment, and says that suicide prevention is a top priority”.
The Democratic presidential nominee stressed the importance – and bipartisan support behind – the seriousness of leadership on foreign policy and national security issues during this campaign.
“The man has very strong control over a country”, said Trump. Trump has said far worse about Obama in appearances on USA television networks. “He’s been a stronger leader”.
Trump’s praise of Putin and his suggestion that the United States and Russian Federation form an alliance to defeat Islamic State militants could raise eyebrows among foreign policy experts who feel Moscow is interfering with efforts to stem the Syrian civil war.
Trump and his running mate, Indiana Governor Mike Pence, defended the comment. But in this instance, he doubled down.
Hillary Clinton, speaking Thursday at a campaign event in Charlotte, North Carolina, ripped into Donald Trump for praising Russian President Vladimir Putin during a forum on national security Wednesday night, calling his comments “unpatriotic” and “dangerous”.
Hillary Clinton called Trump’s praise for Putin “scary” and Obama called it “wacky”.
The New York businessman also said he did not think Russia’s government was behind the hack of Democratic National Committee email servers.
Obama also laughed at Trump’s suggestion he had been humiliated by the Chinese with a flap over the arrival ceremony when he landed in Hangzhou over the weekend for the G-20 summit.
At his press conference Thursday, Ryan was asked directly what he thought about Trump hiring Steve Bannon to be his campaign CEO. “I make no excuses for it”, Clinton responded, stressing she had not improperly handled classified information.
Lauer asked Mr Trump whether he would ask the same generals to devise an IS plan as those he had previously criticised for knowing less than him about the militant group.
“The military commanders serve at the pleasure of civilian authority”. “Every time he speaks, that opinion is confirmed”. But Clinton defended her support for US military intervention to help oust a dictator in Libya, despite the chaotic aftermath and asked to be judged on the “totality” of her record.
Trump said Clinton’s handling of Libya proved disastrous. He was at the presidential library to give a speech on the comparison between the two men. “If you were looking for competency, Donald Trump fell short”, he said in a Facebook post. “But it’s part of the landscape we live in”.
He added that comparison applies to one of his favorite adjectives to describe Reagan: “Humble”.
Putin has offered kind words for Trump in the past as well.
“What would Ronald Reagan say?”
“I did exactly what I should have done and I take it very seriously, always have, always will”, she said.
“This constitutes a direct threat to the United States, and we can not and will never accept this”, Clinton said. Tim Kaine, this fall.
“Vladimir Putin is an aggressor that does not share our interests”, Ryan said, citing USA authorities who believe Moscow is conducting cyber-attacks on the U.S. political system. He argued: “I opposed going in”.
As for Pence, he noted that he’s been focused on his state as governor of IN, and is working to get up to speed on national and worldwide policy.
“We made the world safer”, she said.
“Here is what I want you to really hear, because even I was shocked by this”. I do not understand the reasons for it, I find it frustrating.
