Republican nominee Donald Trump has made another controversial statement targeted at the Democrats.

He suggested in a statement he made at a televised forum to argue he was best equipped to reassert America’s global leadership, that Russian President Vladimir Putin is a better leader compared to US President Barack Obama.

Trump also said at the televised forum that U.S. generals had been thwarted by the policies of Obama and Hillary Clinton, who served as the Democratic president’s first secretary of state.

“I think under the leadership of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton the generals have been reduced to rubble. They have been reduced to a point that’s embarrassing for our country,” Trump said at NBC’s “Commander-in-Chief” forum in New York attended by military veterans.

Concerning Clinton’s handling of classified information while using a private email server during her tenure at the State Department, FBI Director James Comey declared her “extremely careless” in her handling of sensitive material but did not recommend charges against her.
