Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has favoured strong relations between the USA and Russian Federation in wiping out the Islamic State terror group.

Trump denied during his Monday rally that he’s all that close to Russian Federation, which the FBI is investigating to see if they were involved in hacking the Democratic National Committee’s computers and which Trump has encouraged to hack more emails from Hillary Clinton herself in recent days.
“I recognize that flexibility and creativity might actually be good selling used cars and selling real estate, but when you want to be the head of an worldwide superpower, precision and consistency are really important”, Hayden told CNN’s Erin Burnett.
“I said he’s a better leader than Obama because Obama’s not a leader, so he’s certainly doing a better job than Obama is, and that’s all”, Mr. Trump said in the “Fox and Friends” interview. “The show was live from Moscow, and we had tremendous success there and it was unbelievable, but to do well, you have to get the other side to respect you, and he does not respect our president, which is very sad”. He could not have been nicer. “President Putin has never had any contacts with Trump, never spoken to him, including by telephone”, Peskov told the network.
Trump has come under scrutiny this past week for his relationship with Russia following his suggestion that Russian hackers find emails that Hillary Clinton deleted after serving as secretary of state.
“You know, when he goes in and takes Crimea, he’s taking the heart and soul because that’s where all the money is”, he said. Trump tweeted. “So with all the Obama tough talk on Russian Federation and the Ukraine, they have already taken Crimea and continue to push”.
Those comments echo remarks Trump made in a May 2014 speech to the National Press Club.
Whether the Crimean people welcomed Russia’s invasion is irrelevant, said Blank, as “it was still a clear aggression of a country”.
“Already in Crimea!” Trump tweeted Monday, referring to Russian forces.
“Bill Clinton will step in when [US and Russia] feel the need for informal relations between them”, Gazeta.ru wrote quoting a former White House official.
When the interviewer, George Stephanopoulos pointed out the fact that the Russians have already entered into Ukraine, Trump turned the gun towards President Barack Obama.
Trump’s possible ties to Putin have come under scrutiny since he said on 27 July that he hoped Russian Federation, which is said to have hacked the Democratic National Committee, could find deleted messages sent by Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state. “He’s sort of, I mean”.
“Well, look, you know, I have my own ideas”, Trump said.
After Yanukovych fled Ukraine in 2014, Manafort went to work for the exiled president’s chief of staff, Serhiy Lyovochkin, helping to rebuild Yanukovych’s fractured political party.
Trump repeatedly said he would release his tax returns. “You can take it anywhere you want”. So our athletes leave, we all leave, and the day after. “There is no possibility short of a general war [where] you’re going to get the Russians out of Crimea”, Gingrich said.

TRUMP: They softened it, I heard, but I was not involved. The Ukrainian government says Russian Federation has done far more, sending more soldiers and weapons.
