He added that Trump was describing a “sense that he got recently that in fact our President had not taken all of the counsel of our military advisers in confronting and defeating ISIS”. “Every time he speaks, that opinion is confirmed”.

Mr Trump has previously angered many in the military community with mocking remarks against US Senator and former prisoner of war John McCain for being captured in Vietnam.
In 2014, Clinton said on NPR’s On Point that the reset “worked” and “succeeded”, because it was “a device to try to refocus attention on the transactional efforts that we needed to get done with the Russians”.
Trump did little to counter criticism that he lacks detailed policy proposals, particularly regarding the Islamic State group. Trump himself tweeted shortly thereafter, calling Clinton’s news conference “disastrous”.
Clinton added that while she wasn’t surprised by Trump’s remarks, she was “certainly disappointed that someone running for president of the USA would continue this unseemly identification with and praise of the Russian president, including on Russian television”.
“The man has very strong control over a country”, Mr Trump said of Mr Putin during a town hall with NBC News.
The Republican presidential nominee told the forum the Russian president “has been a leader far more than our president [Obama] has been”. Then she showed why it’s important to know things that Donald Trump doesn’t even know he doesn’t know, by pointing out that Putin’s regime has aggressive tendencies not just for us but for our allies and friends as well as our values.
That goes with Trump’s very short fuse, intemperate responses, readiness to lash out at any critic? His former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, resigned amid reports detailing his role advising Viktor Yanukovych, the Putin-backed former leader of Ukraine.
On Wednesday, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump railed against an arbitrary cap on spending that Congress set as a compromise in early 2013.
Private cybersecurity analysts have blamed Russian intelligence agencies for electronic break-ins into Democratic Party computers, including a breach of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the House Democrats’ campaign arm.
Clinton irked some educators last summer when she expressed support for charter schools.
Putin is “very much of a leader”, Trump said in a televised interview.
Prior to the interview’s abrupt ending, Trump did address several topics, including Hillary Clinton, whom he surprisingly did not disparage. The controversial leader has praised Trump, and Trump said he would return the sentiment. “I make no excuses for it”, Clinton responded, stressing she had not improperly handled classified information.
A forum created to test the leading presidential candidates’ capacity for military leadership Wednesday night displayed as much unpredictability as the rest of this election, as questions and answers veered off-topic and both candidates were put on the defensive several times. Trump repeated his assertion that the USA should have seized oil from Iraq.

“There’s no need to distract the public’s attention from the essence of the problem by raising some minor issues connected with the search for who did it”, Putin said. “You know, I wish it was, I wish the first time it was done correctly”. Instead, Trump said he would use “the pulpit of the presidency” to campaign in all 50 states for his education plan.
