Trump: High-ranking military officials don't want 'her being their boss'

Donald Trump has expressed doubts about Hillary Clinton's ability to be an effective Commander-in-Chief, especially to high-ranking members of the armed forces, reports the Los Angeles Times.

At a rally geared towards veterans and military families in Selma, North Carolina, on Thursday, the Republican nominee criticized Clinton's trustworthiness, calling her the "most dishonest person ever to run for office."

Trump then motions to the veterans seated on the stage and says, "You know, when I look at these great admirals, and these great generals, and these great Medal of Honor recipients behind me. To think of her being their boss? I don't think so. And you know, they're incredible patriots, they would never say a thing, but I know what they're thinking. It's not for them, believe me."

The GOP nominee later declares that the military service members backing him are "...so much more brave than me. I wouldn't have done what they did. I'm brave in other ways. I'm financially brave. Big deal. Right?"
