The New York Times published a news analysis-not an editorial, despite the tone-with the following lead paragraph: “Donald J. Trump’s campaign on Thursday reaffirmed its extraordinary embrace of Russia’s president, Vladimir V. Putin, signaling a preference for the leadership of an authoritarian adversary over that of America’s own president, despite a cascade of criticism from Democrats and expressions of discomfort among Republicans”.

On Friday, as Clinton began to walk away from the podium at the press conference, she paused when a reporter shouted a question asking that she respond to Trump’s appearance on RT America.

This is not about me. “This is about the ideas we’re advocating'”. House Speaker Paul Ryan called Putin an “aggressor”, adding that it “certainly appears” that Russian Federation was waging cyberattacks on the United States political system, as Democrats have claimed. He said Putin “has done so in many ways, in a very ruthless manner”. ‘Vladimir Putin is violating the sovereignty of neighboring countries’.
