Trump grants interview to Russia-backed TV network

“This whole idea of admiring Putin is the biggest misunderstanding of a relationship and a person since Munich”, the South Carolina Republican told one group of reporters on Capitol Hill on Thursday afternoon. He noted Putin’s high approval rating was at 82% and told moderator Matt Lauer he was a better leader than President Barack Obama. Both candidates believe they have the upper hand, with Clinton contrasting her experience with Trump’s unpredictability and the Republican arguing that Americans anxious about their safety will be left with more of the same if they elect President Barack Obama’s former secretary of state.

“I think [Trump] ought to begin every statement about Russian Federation by saying Putin is an evil man”, Hewitt said Friday on MSNBC.

Apparently Trump’s position has evolved since July, when he said during a press conference, “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 [Clinton] emails that are missing”.

“Condemning the free, 1st amendment protected American media on Russian owned @RT_com is outrageous, even by the lowest of Trump standards”, Weaver said in one tweet. America is based in Washington, D.C., though the cable channel’s parent company is based in Moscow.

Mr Trump and Democratic rival Hillary Clinton made back-to-back appearances at an event on Wednesday that sounded the starting gun for the final stretch of the presidential race and offered a potential preview of what are expected to be rollicking debates in the weeks to come.

Trump spokesman Jason Miller told CNN that they were unaware King’s interview would be used as anything other than a podcast.

First, does Trump agree with Putin’s recent comment that the hacking of the Democratic National Committee was a “public service”?

“When Mike Pence said that, I just had to reflect that if you don’t know the difference between leadership and dictatorship, then where do I start with you?” said Kaine, a senator from Virginia.

Trump on Thursday called into PoliticKING, King’s twice-weekly show produced and distributed by Ora TV.

Mr Trump’s praise of Mr Putin and his suggestion that the United States and Russian Federation form an alliance to defeat Islamic State (IS) militants could raise eyebrows among foreign policy experts, who feel Moscow is interfering with efforts to stem the Syrian civil war. “The media has been unbelievably dishonest”, Trump responded.

During the same interview, the GOP vice presidential nominee defended Trump’s comment that military leaders have been “reduced to rubble” under the Obama administration.

“Every day that goes by – this just becomes more and more of a reality television show”, she said.

“I can’t say anything surprises us anymore”, she said, characterizing her reaction as “disappointed”.

This is either another example of the Trump team’s questionable advance work or – perhaps more troubling – its judgement.
