Trump is ‘wacky’ and ‘uninformed’ for admiring Putin – Obama

But she defended her support for US military intervention to help oust a dictator in Libya, despite the chaotic aftermath.

For a political party that’s suffered damage thanks to its presidential nominee, could the freakish argument that the GOP needs Republicans in control of Congress to save the party from a Republican president give party loyalists a reason to hold on?

Clinton said Trump’s praise of Putin as a better leader than Obama was “not just unpatriotic and insulting to the people of our country, as well as to our commander in chief, it is scary”.

Clinton also started 2016 with far more money in the bank than her Republican rival.

Trump intimated that those who backed Clinton for president were “suckers”. You can look at Esquire magazine from ’04. “She’s just too quick to intervene, invade, or to push for regime change”. She touted the bipartisan nature of the meeting and vowed to work across the aisle as president to tackle national security challenges. “Vladimir Putin is violating the sovereignty of neighboring countries”, Ryan said at his weekly news conference.

Obama also hit back at Trump for criticising his foreign policy record, saying the Republican nominee was unfit to follow him into the Oval Office and the public should press him on his “outright wacky ideas”.

Trump’s interview with King was released on Thursday and promoted as an exclusive for RT America, which has been scrutinized for promoting Kremlin policy.

“Bringing Islam into the definition of our enemy actually serves the goal of the radical jihadists and there’s a lot of evidence of that”, she said, citing a Time magazine op-Ed by Matt Olsen, formerly a director of the National Counterterrorism Center under President Barack Obama.

Early in his interview with Trump, Lauer failed to challenge Trump when the GOP nominee said he’d opposed the invasion of Iraq as early as 2002, a claim that has been repeatedly debunked.

Critics of the network, which mostly targets audiences outside Russian Federation, have described it as a propaganda arm of Putin’s government.

Trump said repealing the Johnson amendment is “not going to be hard”, and that doing so would be the “only way I’m going to heaven”.

‘Every day that goes by this just becomes more and more of a reality television show, ‘ Clinton said.

But Trump’s comments on March 25, 2003, at a post-Oscar party appeared to be a reference to a friendly fire incident that day in which a USA missile downed a British fighter jet, causing the stock market to drop more than 300 points.

During her remarks in Charlotte, Clinton also spoke about being a senator for NY during the 9/11 terrorist attacks 15 years ago, as well as her involvement, while secretary of state, in the USA raid on Osama Bin Laden’s Pakistani compound that resulted in his death.
