Trump, suggesting the president has put up with worldwide disrespect, said: “Barack Obama, as an example, lands Air Force One in China, and they don’t want to put out stairs to get off the plane”.

On Wednesday, the Republican nominee said at a NY forum on national security that the Kremlin strongman is “very much of a leader… far more than our president has been a leader”, slamming Barack Obama.
Trump, speaking on Friday at the conservative Value Voters summit in Washington, painted Clinton as a “massive failure” while she was America’s top diplomat from 2009 to early 2013, blaming her for the current turmoil in the Middle East.
“Do I care to defend.?”
“I don’t think the guy’s qualified to be president of the United States and every time he speaks, that opinion is confirmed”, Obama said in unusually caustic language while overseas. He said he has a “very distinct plan” and knocked foreign policy under Obama, Hillary Clinton, and former president George W. Bush. “And that’s going to change the day that Donald Trump becomes president”, Pence said. Trump didn’t often comment on the war before it began and what he did say, we found, didn’t amount to opposition.
She added: “So can I say I was surprised?”
The latest round of this absurdity started at a candidate forum two days ago when, asked by Matt Lauer about his approval of Putin’s leadership skills, GOP nominee Donald Trump cited Putin’s “82 percent approval rating” and suggested that actions like annexing Crimea and supporting Syria’s Bashar al-Assad aren’t as bad as “some of the things that President Obama does”.
“No conversation about our national security would be complete unless we acknowledged that the nominee on the other side promises to do things that will make us less safe”, Clinton said.
Still, Trump said Putin’s compliments of him wouldn’t sway their policy differences. “Vladimir Putin is violating the sovereignty of a neighboring country”.
Pence said he’s preparing “in a very traditional way”, despite reports that Trump has eschewed any mock debates or typical debate prep.
King’s phone interview with Trump had ended extremely abruptly, when King asked Trump his thoughts about Mexican immigrants.
Earlier Wednesday, Trump pledged to increase U.S. military spending – already at levels far higher than any other nation – and to demand a plan to beat the Islamic State (IS) group if he becomes president.
Trump also drew fire for criticising the military. She touted the bipartisan nature of the meeting and vowed to work across the aisle as president to tackle national security challenges. The U.S. has a number of economic sanctions against Russian Federation for years of behavior that the U.S. and other countries have said violates worldwide norms, particularly the annexation of Crimea and the support for militants fighting in eastern Ukraine. “Certainly in that system, he’s been a leader, far more than our president has been”.
Putin rules Russian Federation with an iron fist.
She went on to described the care she took while using a separate process for classified information.”I did exactly what I should have done”, she said. “We’re going to defeat ISIS without committing American ground troops”.

In a recent high-profile speech on the issue, Trump said that all undocumented immigrants must leave the country or face deportation with no chance of a path to legal status or citizenship.
