[Trump:] "What? You Think We're So Innocent?"

In response to media questions about his failure to address the dismal human rights record of North Korea Trump in his inimitable manner said "What, you think we're so innocent?"
Trump is the first president of whom I am aware even to broach the unmentionable much less admit publicly that we are hardly exceptional.

"... the most powerful weapon deployed by the Clintons is the corporate media — 'the press'. Let's be clear on one thing: the corporate media in our country is no longer involved in journalism.

Trump is virtually unique among major politicians in taking this stand on the lives of innocents the US has attacked. He should be praised for it.
As election day approaches, it is time to ignore the noise of the moment and think clearly about the crucial issues facing us, none of which is more important than war or peace. The War on Iraq has been a touchstone for these issues over the last 14 years.
On Iraq, Clinton and her operatives have sought to avoid at all costs an accurate comparison of her position over the last 14 years to Trump's.
