The Clinton campaign, meanwhile, unveiled a list of endorsements from 95 retired generals and admirals – most of whom had previously announced their support for the Democratic nominee – who cited her years as secretary of State and as a US senator in contrast to the NY businessman who lacks experience in government and has attacked global allies as well as adversaries.

Hillary Clinton has responded to comments made by Donald Trump on USA network NBCNews.
Lauer asked Trump whether he knows more about ISIS than President Barack Obama’s generals, a statement he has previously made.
Donald Trump speaks with “Today” show co-anchor Matt Lauer at the NBC Commander-In-Chief Forum held at the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum Wednesday in NY.
Obama, asked about Trump while attending a summit in Laos, repeated his assessment that Trump is unqualified to be president. FBI Director James Comey had said she was “extremely careless” in her handling of classified material but decided not to prosecute her. He added that when Putin “calls me brilliant, I’ll take the compliment” and that “if he says great things about me, I’ll say great things about him”. “I think at their very core, both men are the kind of leaders that have a core of humility”, Pence said.
During his speech on Friday night in Pensacola, Trump strayed from prepared remarks to suggest that Clinton is so immune from prosecution she could get away with murder.
Trump’s past statements about Putin have been a target for Clinton’s criticism of him.
The project, which combines opinion polls with an analysis of voting patterns under different election scenarios, still shows Clinton would have the best chance of winning the presidency if the November 8 election were held today. Trump also flirted with revealing what he had been learning in classified intelligence briefings given to him by USA officials because he is the Republican nominee.
Trump, looking back, said: “I was totally against the war in Iraq”. Earlier on Wednesday, Trump pledged to launch a new USA military buildup, saying America was under threat like never before from foes like Islamist extremists, North Korea and China.
With the first debate scheduled for later this month, Clinton’s campaign is trying to ensure that Trump is positioned for a tough evaluation, recognizing that expectations can matter even more than actual performance.
“Mr. Trump recorded a short interview with Larry King for his podcast as a favor to Mr. King”, Hicks said.
Determining, for instance, whether Hillary Clinton has been truthful about her usage of e-mail while she was secretary of state has certainly been deemed part of the political reporter’s mission. Clinton rarely touches on the issue of her faith and how it motivates her to serve.
Appearing in the second half of the hour-long show, Trump faced questions about his fitness for office. As FactCheck.org noted at the time, many people who don’t pay federal income tax are retirees, who tend to tilt Republican. “We need change, and we need it fast”.
Friday’s remark was reminiscent of Trump’s comment earlier this year when he said that he could shoot somebody in the middle of New York’s busy 5th Avenue and not lose any support.
The Democratic presidential nominee “is the only candidate that has the experience, temperament, critical thinking and level-headed leadership to keep America safe and our partnerships strong”, said Air Force Gen. Lloyd Newton.
On Thursday, Trump said he would have voted against the war if he had been serving in Congress at the time.
On the USA intervention in Libya in 2011, Clinton rejected Trump’s criticism of her support for the effort as secretary of state. “We are commanded”, she said.

Republican opponents have no shortage of examples which they say demonstrate that it’s Clinton who expects deferential treatment.
