Ryan trashes Putin but won’t call out Trump for praising him
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump speaks to Matt Lauer during the “Commander in Chief Forum” on Wednesday.
“They are saying, ‘Oh please, Allah, make Trump president of America, ‘” Clinton said in an interview with Israel’s Channel 2 News. Trump seemed at ease with the freewheeling style he has often demonstrated on the campaign trail – causing a stir by defending a tweet that implied military sexual assault is a result of women serving in the military – while Clinton pivoted from questions about her email server to focus on her vision of a robust national security policy.
“She’s trigger happy and very unstable”, Trump said.
Trump has said he did not support that invasion, but audio has since emerged of him answering radio shock jock Howard Stern “I guess so” after being asked if he was in favor of attacking Iraq.
Mike Pence, Trump’s vice presidential running mate, told CNN it was “inarguable” that Putin had been a stronger leader of Russian Federation than Obama had been in the United states.
“I heard Hillary Clinton say I was not against the war in Iraq”, Trump told Lauer.
Clinton said she would do whatever it takes to move it into the 21st century.
Trump, who has never held elected office, has criticized Clinton’s judgment for backing the 2003 Iraq war and her support for the USA intervention in Libya in 2011.
Clinton’s argument that Trump is ill-prepared to be commander in chief has been bolstered by a flood of Republican national security experts who have chosen to back the Democratic nominee instead of their own party’s pick.
“No. It’s not about liking or disliking”, Trump said. He then criticized USA generals, saying they “have not been successful” and were “reduced to rubble” under President Barack Obama and Clinton’s leadership. I, at the same time, want to keep the court system within the military. The Republican also renewed his praise for Putin and his disdain for President Barack Obama, saying that the Russian enjoyed an 82 percent approval rating and arguing that “it’s a very different system and I don’t happen to like the system, but certainly, in that system, he’s been a leader, far more than our president has been a leader”.
Clinton also dismissed criticism that she was hawkish and too interventionist.
When asked if undocumented immigrants who plan to serve in the armed forces may be able to stay in the U.S., Trump responded, “It’s a very special situation, absolutely”.
Overall, Clinton and her allies are trying to make the election a referendum on Trump. Clinton said none of the emails she sent or received were marked top secret, secret or classified, the usual way such material is identified. The current average of polls by website RealClearPolitics puts her at 45.6 percent support, compared with Trump’s 42.8 percent.
“Hillary Clinton is always complaining about what’s wrong”, he said during a campaign stop in Cleveland, where he visited a charter school and proposed federal spending on “school choice” programs.
“Well, thank God we are all going to heaven because hell has frozen over”, said former Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk. Many critics said his remarks were wrongheaded and showed he doesn’t support the advancement of women in the military.
