Donald Trump on Monday sought to turn the tables on Democratic critics who are depicting him as unfit for office.

Painting a grim picture of a world under attack and a homeland threatened by terror, he argued that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton doesn't have the "mental and physical stamina" to fight ISIS.
He argued that only he could be trusted in the White House during a speech outlining how he would combat Islamic terrorism, characterizing the fight as an ideological struggle on par with that of the Cold War.
"Hillary Clinton lacks the judgment ... stability and temperament and moral character to lead our nation," the Republican presidential nominee said. "She also lacks the mental and physical stamina to take on ISIS. And all of the many adversaries that we face."

Trump also lit into Clinton and Obama for their policies, blaming them for the rise of ISIS and spelling out what he would do instead.
He called for "extreme vetting" of foreigners who want to come the US, spelling out in more detail policies barring certain people from entry that he has articulated throughout the campaign.
And staking out one of the main pillars of his speech, Trump declared that "the era of nation-building will be brought to a swift and decisive end" if he becomes president, criticizing the war in Iraq and the way in which troops were withdrawn though Obama himself has not embraced nation-building.
"Our new approach, he said, "must be to halt the spread of radical Islam."
"All actions should be oriented around this goal and any country which shares this goal will be our ally," he continued. "We cannot always choose our friends but we can never fail to recognize our enemies."
He began his address by ticking down the list of terrorist attacks in the US that have occurred during the Obama administration, right up to the attack on an Orlando nightclub that was the worst mass shooting in American history.
