Trump Defends Tweet on Military Sexual Assault Victims
Donald Trump on Thursday went to great lengths to argue that he had never been in favor of the war on Iraq during the second Bush Administration, telling an audience in OH that had he been a member of Congress, he would have gone against President George W. Bush and voted against a resolution authorizing the use of US military force. “This is the first time in the history – the storied history of Air Force One”, Trump said.

Asked whether he’d be comfortable with Trump as president, Ryan demurred, “I’ll leave it at that”.
House Speaker Paul Ryan says Hillary Clinton has been so confident she’ll win the presidential election that she’s “playing not to lose”.
How do you say “oops” in Russian?
Trump said at the forum that he’d be open to “working” a way for undocumented immigrants to serve in the USA military – a sharp contrast to his tone during a speech in Arizona last week where he said he would focus on deporting undocumented immigrants from the country.
Facing pushback over his praise of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump’s Republican presidential campaign defended the GOP nominee’s interview on the Russian TV network, RT, Friday.
The event at the Intrepid Air and Sea Museum in NY offered a prelude of how they will deal with questions on national security issues in their three upcoming presidential debates. “Maybe the Democrats are putting that out – who knows”, Trump said of the Clinton campaign’s accusations that Russian Federation is trying to rig the USA election in Trump’s favor.
The segment with Hillary Clinton was predictable – the email servers, her vote on the Iraq war. At Wednesday’s forum, Trump said his friendly words to Putin were simply part of negotiation.
However, Clinton and Trump did not come face to face at the forum as they were grilled back-to-back by the anchor.
“I think that when you serve in the armed forces, that’s a very special situation”, Trump said. Why would the Clinton campaign, which needs a strong turnout from the Democratic base, remind the entire country that Hillary voted to authorize the Iraq War too?
With so many partisan, critical eyes watching, moderating can be a thankless job – one that hasn’t been fully defined, Lehrer said.
Replied questioner Mike Barnicle, “You’re kidding me”.
Trump remained persistently vague about his plans for defeating the Islamic State group, insisting that he privately has a blueprint for taking on the terror group but wanted to remain “unpredictable”.
When Lauer continued to press Trump on his support for Putin, the NY business magnate compared the Russian leader to Obama, saying, he has been a leader far more than Obama has been.
Clinton’s remarks followed a Wednesday night national security forum, where the presidential candidates made back-to-back appearances. While the candidates never appeared on stage together, the session served as a preview of sorts for their highly anticipated presidential debates.
Emphasizing the importance of getting at the truth, Fox News Channel on Thursday afternoon had this headline onscreen beneath Trump as he talked about the forum: “Trump: I opposed the Iraq War from the beginning”.
With just two months left for the election, national security has emerged as the main issue in the White House race.

The Clinton campaign has argued Trump’s friendly posture toward Russian Federation represents a possible national security threat. Both candidates believe they have the upper hand.
