CNN reports Miller “told CNN the interview was recorded as a podcast and was a favor to King”.

“I don’t think the guy’s qualified to be president of the United States”, Obama said.
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”.
“He’s been a leader far more that our president has been a leader”, Trump said of the Russian president. “It’s a war we shouldn’t have been in, number one”, Trump said, “and it’s a war that when we got out, we got out the wrong way”.
“Trump promises us a “very good relationship”.
The Republican chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Bob Corker, offered Trump a warning when asked about the relationship on Thursday.
“The most important thing for the public and the press is to just listen to what [Trump] says and follow up and ask questions to what appear to be either contradictory or uninformed or outright whacky ideas”, Obama told reporters during a stop on his nine-day tour of Southeast Asia.
“I think I would have a very, very good relationship with Putin. I don’t know anything about it”, Trump said.
But pressed by Bash on the difference between the two nation’s governments – namely that in the U.S. democracy presidents share power with Congress, Pence acknowledged that Trump was not advocating for a dictatorship.
The Washington Post reported that “there is strong evidence that Trump’s businesses have received significant funding from Russian investors” and his son, Donald Jr., has boasted that Russian money “make [s] up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets”.
Earlier, Mr Trump pledged to increase U.S. military spending – already much higher than any other nation – with an active army of about 540,000 troops, an air force of at least 1,200 fighter jets and a navy of 350 ships.
Trump’s continued unvarnished praise instead of unequivocal condemnation for Putin is yet another example of where the party’s standard-bearer has broken with GOP orthodoxy.
Beyond that, Trump has repeatedly said that it would “be great” for the US and Russian Federation to have strong relations, which he believes he would be capable of achieving if elected.
“We actually do. I’ll leak it to you later”, Pence said.
“Once the truce is in place for a specified time period”, the report reads, “then the United States and Russian Federation are to initiate a joint air campaign against counterterrorism targets”. The Arizona senator was personally close with Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili. Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton condemned Mr. Trump’s effusive praise for the Russian leader, while Republican Speaker Paul Ryan said Mr. Putin is an adversary of American values.
She said Trump’s frequent compliments of Putin show he’s “totally” unsuited for the White House and suggested that if elected, Trump would let the Kremlin gets its way.

Had the Clinton-Trump race been held in Russian Federation, there is no doubt over who would have the upper hand.
