Donald Trump on Tuesday advocated strengthening ties with Russian Federation while making the case that Hillary Clinton wouldn’t be capable of negotiating with the country’s leader. John McCain, a former prisoner of war in Vietnam, is not a hero because he had been captured by the enemy.

It also showed Trump saying he had sacrificed a lot in comparison to families who have lost loved ones in conflict.

“Our veterans deserve better”, says the ad airing in key swing states and on cable nationally.

The conflicting messages come as the candidates prepare to court voters in Southern states with significant veteran populations. “It’s good psychology”, the Republican presidential nominee said at a town hall in Virginia Beach on Tuesday. The documents show Clinton used the phrase does not “recall” or “remember” at least 39 times during her Federal Bureau of Investigation interview.

Clinton said sometimes these types of logistical dust-ups are “annoying” but they’re not the reason a president attends these types of meetings.

Clinton also brushed off polls that show the race tightening between her and Trump.

“And a man who is so wrong about our veterans isn’t right to serve as our commander in chief”. She pointed to her endorsements from retired Marine Gen. John Allen, who blasted Trump at the Democratic National Committee, and former Central Intelligence Agency deputy director Mike Morell.

The Republican White House contender said the Mexican president violated some “ground rules” by admitting that the two did actually discuss payment of his proposed border wall between the two countries, but added, “that’s ok”.

He added that had Clinton gone to Mexico, the trip would have been “a total failure”.

Ms Clinton has mostly maintained an edge over Mr Trump in recent national polls.

“I want voters in Iowa to know that I’ve always worked as hard as I could to deliver on the commitments that I’ve made”, Clinton said.

Clinton criticised the NY real estate magnate for the comments. Clinton has said her statements on the matter were truthful.

“Hillary Clinton’s remarks today in Tampa are exactly what you would expect to hear from a candidate who took off the month of August and woke up in September losing the election”, Trump spokesman Jason Miller said.

Clinton proceeded to schmooze with reporters for another minute, recognizing one journalist by his “head” (or “hat”-it was unclear)”. She endorsed Clinton in July after Trump attacked the Muslim parents of an Army captain who was killed in Iraq.

Speaking of Trump, political commentator Nicolle Wallace said on Morning Joe: “If he looks anything less than deranged, he far exceeds expectations”. “Their report answered all the questions”, she said.

Meanwhile, Mr Trump declared “our country is going to hell” because of policies Ms Clinton would make worse.
