Glenn Karl’s views on Trump’s speech 

Former CIA member from Boston, Glenn Karl from Boston while speaking about Donald Trump’s speech said, “I think main point perhaps has t been emphasized (in debate), which is that Trump, in his statement, looked for a way to sound strong particularly to United States audience. He avoided going furr against hostilities. It's quite clear that he is seeking a way out, re is statement whatsoever, about what United States will do. It was just a lot of ise about, ‘we are strong, we are great, I have done wonderful things’, and this is all standard Trump stuff. So, he is declared victory and all of it is empty.”
