Trump told King he does not think the Russians were intervening in USA elections, a concern expressed by some US officials and by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Speaking in Iowa during the primary season, Clinton lamented what she called the “really unfortunate argument” about the standards.

In Russia, it is at the heart of the depiction of Putin as the bulwark against a conspiring United States.
Mr Trump, in a speech on Friday, stuck to his belief that the U.S. and Russian Federation can work together to defeat Islamic State (IS) militants.
“With Iran, when they circle our handsome destroyers with their little boats and they make gestures at our people that they shouldn’t be allowed to make, they will be shot out of the water”, Trump said. (However, last July Trump called on the Russians to hack Clinton’s e-mails.) Nonetheless, Trump’s views on the media and President Obama pretty much align with the Russian viewpoint. Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” is an extension of a tendency by some liberals to demonize conservative thought, which has had the outcome of pushing many American moderates into Trump’s corner.
“And their supporters appear to make up half his crowd when you observe the tone of his events”.
They “don’t buy everything he says, but he seems to hold out some hope that their lives will be different”.
But when walking back the remarks, Clinton also vowed to continue “calling out bigotry and racist rhetoric in this campaign” while emphasizing that she still wanted to be seen as a candidate of unity. “Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic – you name it”.
Beyond so-called Trump’s admiration for Putin, the IC is in fact mostly focusing its efforts on investigating more serious cases like Russian hackers allegedly breaking into Arizona and IL state elections databases in early August 2016.
Putin “has been a leader far more than our president has been leader”, even with his controversial annexation of Crimea and his dabbling in the internal affairs of Ukraine, Trump said. “I think it’s awful that one of the only profit centers we have is student loans”.
“Before I came here this morning I was praying at the U.S. Supreme Court”, Turner said.
Clinton has made similar comments in the past.
But Trump saw a clear opening to attack what his campaign characterized as a gaffe for which she should apologize.
Post-Labor Day, Trump had an opening to assure anxious Republicans that he is prepared – or at least adequately preparing – to be president.
Meanwhile, Trump’s camp lost no time in making the most of the attention on Clinton’s comments.
Clinton, however, has made gains in the traditionally Republican states of Arizona, where she trails Trump 42%-41%, and Georgia, where she trails Trump 46%-43%.
Clinton has said she regretted generalizing so broadly.
The ad’s release on Saturday, however, came in the wake of her remarks grouping half of Trump’s supporters into a “basket of deplorables”, a statement for which she has been widely criticized. It reminds me of the old saying, “No good deed goes unpunished”.
Clinton has said Trump would do little to heal the nation and only deepen divisions.
