'Our country is going to hell': Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton differ over national security issues
Donald Trump and Hilarry
Clinton on Tuesday night differed on their national security plans
for USA if elected into office.
Clinton accused Donald
Trump of insulting America's veterans and pressing dangerous military plans
around the globe, seeking to undercut his appeal to service families in
Southern voting battlegrounds while Trump declared "our country is going
to hell" because of policies made by Clinton
A cool, calms and
calculated Donald Trump said he'll ask NATO members to pay their bills and also
'respectfully' ask countries like Saudi Arabia, South Korea, German, Japan and
others to pay for the tremendous security the United states provide to them. He
also said he will seek to increase number of US troops and develop the U.S
missile defense system, saying cyber security is at it's lowest in the U.S and
that America needs to be many steps ahead of enemy countries and ISIS.
"His whole campaign
has been one long insult to all those who have worn the uniform," Hillary,
the Democratic nominee said at the University of South Florida in Tampa.
"We are going to
work with our allies, not insult them. We are going to stand up to our
adversaries, not cozy up to them. We are going to have real plans, not claims
and secret plans,"
Clinton said Trump
lagged behind in securing key military supporters compared to past Republican
nominees including John McCain and Mitt Romney. She pointed to her endorsements
from retired Marine Gen. John Allen and former CIA deputy director Mike Morell.
"They know they can
count on me to be the kind of commander in chief who will protect our country
and our troops, and they know they cannot count on Donald Trump," Clinton
said en route to Florida.
"They view
him as a danger and a risk."
Meanwhile Trump vowed to
take aggressive action to help veterans at home and confront threats abroad
including acts of terrorism from ISIS.
"We are going to
solve the ISIS problem," Trump said. "But we have to get back to
building our country, because our country is going to hell."
Trump argued that
Clinton's email use and her handling of classified information is
"disqualifying."
"People who have
nothing to hide don't smash phones with hammers. People who have nothing to
hide don't bleach -- nobody's even ever heard of it -- their emails, or destroy
evidence to keep it from being publicly archived as required under federal
law," Trump said
"I just don't think
she has a presidential look and you need a presidential look," Trump said
of Clinton.
"I'm talking about
general, by the way, she says things about me that are horrible," Trump
said. "As an example the single greatest asset I have, according to those
that know me, is my temperament."
Trump, trying to
emphasize his military support, released a letter from 88 retired generals and
admirals citing an urgent need for a "course correction" in America's
national security policy.
"We believe that
such a change can only be made by someone who has not been deeply involved
with, and substantially responsible for, the hollowing out of our military and
the burgeoning threats facing our country around the world," the military
leaders wrote.
"For this reason,
we support Donald Trump's candidacy to be our next commander in chief."
