Donald Trump on Monday laid out a U.S. blueprint for defeating global terrorism in partnership with North Atlantic Treaty Organisation and Middle East allies, demanding extreme restrictions on immigration and likening the fight to the Cold War.

For better or worse, Obama and Clinton have been joined at the hip throughout the 2016 presidential campaign, as they sought to retain Democratic control of the White House and to preserve the Obama administration legacy. Importantly, she lacks also the mental and physical stamina to take on ISIS and all the many adversaries we face not only in terrorism but in trade and every other challenge we must confront to turn this country around.
“If I become president, the era of nation-building will be brought to a very swift and decisive end”. Mary Theis, a lifelong Republican, says she’s gotten a glimpse of just how strong support for Trump is as she’s worked political booths at fairs and festivals.
“I had previously said that North Atlantic Treaty Organisation was obsolete because it failed to deal adequately with terrorism”, Trump said. Since my comments, they have changed their policy and now have a new division focused on terror threats.
Hardening his stand on what he calls the “radical Islamic terror”, Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump has proposed a Cold War- era type ideological test for Muslim immigrants and visitors to the United States.
He criticized a number of Obama and Clinton’s decisions regarding the Middle East, including attempting to establish a democracy in Libya, pushing for immediate regime change in Syria and supporting the overthrow of Hosni Mubarak in Egypt.
According to the Washington Post, Trump said that immigration from risky areas of the world must be stopped.
The new proposal will include a ban for citizens of countries affected by terrorism, but did not specify which ones; screening new arrivals to make sure their “ideologies” align with “American values”; keeping open the controversial Guantanamo Bay prison; launching a commission into Islamic terrorism; forming alliances with nations fighting IS; and working with North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, which he previously called “obsolete”.
The nominee said: “We will stop processing visas from those areas until such time as it is deemed safe to resume based on new circumstances or new procedures”. “I call it extreme, extreme vetting”, the report quoted Donald Trump as saying.
He also suggested ideological warfare to combat radical Islam, by contrasting American values with those promoted by terrorists and Middle Eastern countries – and he hit his Democratic rival and the Clinton foundation hard in the process.
Trump’s speech on Monday followed weeks of controversies that have grown from the businessman’s remarks on various issues, which have seriously concerned several members of the GOP and reflect a deeply divided Republican Party. Hillary Clinton’s senior policy adviser Jake Sullivan said.
“How can Trump put this forward with a straight face when he opposes marriage equality and selected as his running mate the man who signed an anti-LGBT law in Indiana?”.
And it all came down to adequate vetting of immigrants and refugees.
Trump, a wealthy NY businessman whose volatile campaign has alienated some in the Republican establishment, faced a fresh rebuke on Monday as he falls behind Clinton in opinion polls ahead of the November 8 election.
Trump’s accusation that Obama and Clinton created the Islamic State group had imperiled the lives of USA troops, Biden said.
“The threat to their life has gone up a couple clicks”, Biden said.
Meanwhile, The New York Times reported that corruption investigators in Ukraine say an illegal, off-the-books payment network earmarked $12.7 million in cash payments in 2007-2012 for Paul Manafort, now Trump’s campaign chairman.

That may be true, given that his chief political strategist, Paul Manafort, is in bed with the Russian government and on the payroll to the tune of nearly $13 million, payments from Ukraine’s former President Viktor F. Yanukovych.
