“This will require military warfare, but also cyberwarfare, financial warfare and ideological warfare”, Trump said during an address in Philadelphia.

“Every Republican holding or seeking office in this country should be asked if they agree with Donald Trump about these statements”, Clinton said in a morning news conference before she headed to North Carolina for a campaign event.
Time agreed, citing “plenty of unilluminating blather spewed by both candidates”.
The FBI recommended against any charges after concluding a lengthy investigation of Clinton’s use of a private email server during her time as secretary of state and the Justice Department heeded that recommendation.
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will take the same stage for the first time Wednesday night, aiming to position themselves as best prepared to lead in turbulent times and warning that their opponent would put the country at risk.
Asked if he would like to be complimented by a leader who “annexed Crimea, invaded Ukraine, supports (President Bashar) Assad in Syria, Trump said if Putin “says great things about me, I’m going to say great things about him”.
Mr Trump had told the forum in NY that the Russian president had “been a leader far more than our president has been”.
Trump had called Obama “the founder of ISIS”, an acronym for Islamic State, in stump speeches several weeks ago. “But we will survive it, and it’s not clear who has more to lose with that approach”. He has since picked up ground on Clinton in national opinion polls.
House Speaker Paul Ryan, who has frequently broken with Trump, took a sharply different view of Putin.
“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing”, Trump said back in July.
Asked during the RT America interview what has surprised him most about the political process, Trump unloaded on the American press.
That’s the threshold needed for him to have a spot in the first presidential debate on September 26.
Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton defended her handling of classified information as secretary of state, insisting she did not jeopardise national security by discussing the Obama administration’s drone programme and other sensitive matters on a personal email account. But not Matt Lauer-and the frustration came pouring out. The issue has raised questions about whether she can be trusted to serve as president.
Reflecting on her Christianity, Clinton said Jesus Christ’s greatest command was to love.
Appearing in the second half of the hour-long show, Trump faced questions about his fitness for office. He even dismissed USA officials’ concern that Russian Federation may be seeking to disrupt the November 8 election as “pretty unlikely”, though he went on to say that any such interference would be “inappropriate”. In his talk, Page criticized the US’ “often-hypocritical focus on democratization, inequality, corruption and regime change”.
Trump did not directly respond to Clinton’s critique Thursday.

The Democratic nominee used an airport tarmac availability near her home in NY on Thursday morning to rebound off an uneven performance at Wednesday night’s national security forum and call attention to some of Donald Trump’s unusual blustering at the event, much of which went unchallenged by the moderator. He said the media had insufficiently scrutinized Trump’s claims but said voters will make “a good decision”.
