On Wednesday, September 8th, presidential candidate Donald Trump praised Russian President Vladimir Putin on his military leadership, while he claimed that America’s own military supervision “embarrassing.” Trump also said that Putin has very powerful authority of his country, even though it’s a different type of system. The candidate went farther as to say that he doesn’t care for the system, but Putin does good in his system, far better than President Barack Obama.

“We have a divided country. We have a country where you have Hillary Clinton with her emails that nobody’s ever seen where she deletes 33,000 emails, and that’s after getting a subpoena from Congress. If you do that in private business, you get thrown in jail.”

Along with other presidential candidates, Hillary Clinton participated in the Commander in Chief forum.  As before, much of her time went to defending her e-mail practices as Secretary of State. After the forum, she attacked Donald Trump for his continued praise of Putin and for consistently shifting his opinions. Additionally, Hillary Clinton came under fire for coughing during a speech and her health was again called into question.  She has continued to assure the public that her health is fine trying to put an end to repeated attacks.  Humans of New York also featured her on Thursday, where she spoke about her experience as a women and her perception as being “walled off.”

“Every time I think of Trump, I get allergic.”
