Trump, who has both said he has a secret plan to defeat ISIS and, if elected, that he would give generals 30 days to present him with a plan to beat ISIS, also offered little clarity as to which was the case. Just this week, his campaign lifted a long-standing ban on certain news organizations – including the Washington Post, Politico, Buzzfeed and others – from covering his campaign – while giving wide access and many interviews to the conservative or alt-right press.
“He said one nice thing about me”.
Mrs Clinton also excoriated Mr Trump for a remark that America’s generals had been “reduced to rubble” in recent years, and his suggestion that he would remove the top brass and replace them with leaders of his choosing. “And that’s not only risky, it should be disqualifying”, she said.
“I think that when you serve in the armed forces, that’s a very special situation”, Trump said.
Lauer’s handling of the NBC News “Commander-In-Chief Forum” with Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump on Wednesday night was widely panned by journalists and pundits.

Lindsey Graham slammed Donald Trump on Thursday for saying that Russian President Vladimir Putin is a better leader than President Barack Obama.
One point The Times and others honed in on was the fact that Lauer did not challenge Trump on his assertion, which he’s made throughout the campaign, that he’d opposed the Iraq war from the beginning.
For months, Hillary Clinton broke with campaign tradition and flew separately from the reporters who follow her around the country. Trump has no coherent plan for fixing the VA or improving services for our veterans.
“I’m asking to be judged on the totality of my record”, said Clinton, who grew visibly irritated at times with the repeated focus on her past actions.
But here’s the thing many are missing: Trump’s comment here is far from controversial with actual voters.
According to Suffolk, 41% of North Carolina voters said they have a favorable opinion of Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, while 49% said they have an unfavorable opinion. “You have a fan”, Carvey, as Putin, said.
