“And for Trump to both encourage that and to praise Putin despite what appears to be a deliberate effort to try to affect the election I think raises national security issues”, the Democratic presidential nominee alleged. I said North Atlantic Treaty Organisation is obsolete.

I’m serious about that. Hellbent on whipping up fear and resentment, Trump is running for president on a platform of visceral contempt-for immigrants, Muslims, and facts-trafficking in insults rather than ideas. Telling a self-serving lie – no matter how transparent, no matter how easily disproved – seems to be a reflex for him.
In 2001, Bush said, after meeting Putin, he looked him “in the eye”, finding him “very straightforward and trustworthy”.
Republican US presidential nominee Donald Trump on Monday suggested the US accept Russia’s annexation of Crimea for relations to improve in order to better serve the fight against the so-called Islamic State. “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing”, he said. We know this because he’s repeatedly expressed skepticism about American alliance commitments to Russian enemies.
“I think what Trump says about Putin is what he believes”, Dean said. I had a major event in Russian Federation two or three years ago, Miss Universe contest, which was a big, big, incredible event. Trump spearheaded the so-called birther movement which undermined America’s first black president by claiming that he was not born in the United Sates, and so disqualified from the job.
Republican candidate Donald Trump was asked about these issues Sunday in an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulus. “Why are the debates against – ‘ because the National Football League doesn’t want to go against the debates”. His statements amount to no more than former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger – not a political naïf – has been saying ever since the invasion: “Nobody in the West has offered a concrete program to restore Crimea”.
Trump also lied about his interactions with the conservative billionaire Koch brothers. I didn’t meet him.
So while Trump should be applauded for trying to achieve that, he should be criticized for not knowing what he’s talking about. Kelly Ayote the New Hampshire senator said he was appalled Trump had the “gall” to compare his own sacrifices to those of the Khans.
In seeking more friendly relations with Russia, Trump and his allies have taken a vastly different approach than recent leaders of the Republican establishment, let alone the Obama administration. Eleven percent showed partial support, while 4 percent were against it.
Also, he’s alarmingly thin-skinned. It’s a sharp turn in policy, as is something else Trump said last week. “I lived in Crimea for two years, so I’m very disappointed”. “Trump made clear Friday on Twitter that he was talking about “‘Little’ Michael Bloomberg, who never had the guts to run for president”.
“And as far as the Ukraine is concerned, it’s a mess”.
Trump’s statement is only a gaffe to those who consider the annexation of Crimea a move of aggression by Russian Federation.
Finally, there’s ample evidence that Trump is the worst kind of bully.

As he spoke, his wife Ghazala stood by his side. “She was standing there”. In reality, she says she can not speak about her son without bursting into tears. She probably, maybe she wasn’t allowed to have anything to say. “And now you have people in the Ukraine, who knows, set up or not, but it can’t all be set up”.
