Clinton said the country can meet the attacks in “concert with our values”.

Trump throughout much of the a year ago has called for a ban on Muslims entering the United States.

The Saturday explosions are thrusting national security concerns back to the fore of the 2016 presidential race.

The presidential hopefuls offered competing counterterrorism visions in the wake of Saturday’s bombings in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, and in Seaside Park, New Jersey – Clinton, the former secretary of state, billed herself as experienced on national security issues and Trump portrayed himself as eager to “knock the hell out of” terrorists. She cited Hayden as saying that her opponent was a recruiting sergeant for terrorists.

The Republican presidential nominee told “Fox and Friends” that “I should be a newscaster because I called it before the news”.

He sought to convince Americans that these latest attacks – which left about 40 injured – are an inevitable result of Clinton and Obama’s lax anti-terror and immigration policies.

An Afghan-born U.S. suspect – Ahmad Khan Rahami, 28 – described as “armed and dangerous” was wounded Monday in a dramatic shootout with police and taken into custody over the bombings in ny and New Jersey. “Let’s remember what happened on 9/11”, Clinton said.

“You aren’t satisfied, and you shouldn’t be satisfied with the progress we’ve made”, Clinton said. “It depends on what level she hits you with, if she’s fair, if it’s unfair, but certainly I’m not looking to do that”. “These are enemies. These are combatants and we have to be tough and we have to be strong”, Trump said. We need to get smart and get tough fast so that this weekend’s attacks do not become the new normal here as it has in Europe and other parts of the world.

“It’s called leadership”, he added.

Multiple polls show that millennials are repulsed by Donald Trump.

“Yet despite this, I remain confidence that America’s best days are ahead of us”, Clinton said, pointing to the “inspiring young people I meet every day”.

Trump quickly responded to what he claimed was a “disgusting attempt” by Clinton to distract from United States foreign policy failures by suggesting he was a traitor.

Clinton has, in fact, discussed terrorism.

Trump was criticized by both Democrats and Republicans for describing the explosion as a bomb shortly after the blast, before federal or New York City officials confirmed that as the cause. But to do the hard work as I’ve done before, to put it into place the strategies for local and state law enforcement for an intelligence surge, ” Clinton said.

Clinton urged Americans not to fear. “So even as we have to be vigilant and aggressive in preventing acts of senseless violence, we all have a role to play as citizens to make sure we don’t succumb that fear”. We have faced threats before.

“And the reason I would, is because she’s had that searing experience of being at the World Trade Center as they were searching survivors”, Kaine said.

Standing like a midget among military giants Donald Trump admitted that President Barack Obama is a U.S. citizen falsely blaming Hillary Clinton for a despicable movement he nurtured
