The Republican nominee made a lot of definitive-sounding statements on Monday night,on everything from race and policing to Isis and cyber warfareRepublican nominee Donald Trump made a lot of definitive-sounding claims in the first presidential debate on Monday night. We unfurled some of those long-winded statements and took a closer scrutinize, issue by issue. “We have endorsements from, and I think,nearly every police group, very – I mean, or a large percentage of them in the United States.” Related: Donald Trump calls for nationwide 'stop and frisk' in pitch for black voters “I think perhaps there’s a political reason why you can’t say it,but I really dont believe – in current York City, stop-and-frisk, or we had 2200 murders,and stop-and-frisk brought it down to 500 murders.

Some of it’s said in entertainment. Some of it’s said – somebody who’s been very vicious to me,Rosie O’Donnell, I said very tough things to her, or I think everybody would agree that she deserves it and nobody feels sorry for her. But you want to know the truth? I was going to say something extremely rough to Hillary,to her family, and I said to myself, and ‘I can’t do it. I just can’t do it. It’s inappropriate. It’s not nice.’ But she spent hundreds of millions of dollars on negative ads on me,many of which are absolutely unfaithful. They’re unfaithful. And they’re misrepresentations. And I will tell you this, Lester, and it’s not nice. And I don’t deserve that.” Related: Trump responds to Megyn Kelly's questions on misogyny – with more misogyny Well,I have to say that, you know, and for what Secretary Clinton was saying about nuclear with Russia,she’s very cavalier in the way she talks about various countries.

She’s telling us how to fight Isis. Just travel to her website. She tells you how to fight Isis on her website. I don’t think General Douglas MacArthur would like that too much … See, you’re telling the enemy everything you want to do. No wonder you’ve been fighting – no wonder you’ve been fighting Isis your entire adult life.” Related: Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama created Isis, and says Donald Trump I don’t think anybody knows it was Russia that broke into the DNC. She’s saying Russia,Russia, Russia, or but I don’t – perhaps it was. I mean,it could be Russia, but it could also be China. It could also be lots of other people.
