In a wide-ranging interview that aired Thursday evening, Trump spoke with journalist Larry King about the presidential race, American intervention in Iraq and the Middle East, and the potential intrusion by Russian hackers into Democratic Party databases.

After recounting the intensity of the mission that night by the Navy SEALS, she added, “That, Donald Trump, is what American honor looks like and that is what we’re going to stand up and defend in the face of your outrageous, disgraceful attacks on the men and women of our armed forces”.
Clinton said Trump’s praise of Putin as a better leader than Obama was “not just unpatriotic” but also “scary”.
In the second half of the podcast, Clinton Foundation chief communications officer Craig Minassian relays how the steady criticism of the foundation has effected former President Bill Clinton.
Also Thursday, Clinton spoke about fighting IS during a brief press conference in NY, during which she also blasted Trump and his “admiration” for Russian President Vladimir Putin. Conway tried to switch subjects to Hillary Clinton, but Rose asked why Trump won’t acknowledge his shifting view: “Why can’t he simply say that?”
“If he says great things about me, I’m going to say great things about him”, Trump responded. Russian President Vladmir Putin emphasized in 2013 how the network “reflect [s] the Russian government’s official position”.
Wednesday’s forum served as a preview of sorts for Clinton and Trump’s highly anticipated debates.
Graham said that while he agreed that Obama had failed to stand up to Putin, Trump’s comment crossed the line and “unnerves me to my core”.
A new NBC News/Survey Monkey poll shows Trump holding an nearly 20-point lead over Clinton with military and veteran voters, 55 to 36 percent.
“Permitting there to be an ongoing civil war in Libya would be as threatening and as unsafe as what we are seeing in Syria”, she said. We did not lose the connection, so something happened there.
Trump also sought on Friday to blame Clinton after reports that North Korea had tested a nuclear weapon, arguing it was the fourth such test since the Democrat became secretary of state in 2009 and that she should have ended the nation’s nuclear program before her tenure ended. Trump has said far worse about Obama in appearances on United States television networks.
When she was secretary, Clinton ran a criminal enterprise, Trump asserted, by granting favors to donors to the Clinton Foundation charity, and he accused her of smashing telephones with hammers to hide evidence from investigators.
