It is clear that as president I will be bound by laws just like all Americans and I will meet those responsibilities.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just hours earlier, at Thursday&#8217;s Republican debate, Trump reiterated his plans to &#8220;go tougher than waterboarding&#8221; on Islamic State group fighters and others threatening national security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When asked if that includes past promises to have U.S. troops target terrorists&#8217; families, Trump said service members would follow his orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I&#8217;m a leader. I&#8217;ve always been a leader. I&#8217;ve never had any problem leading people,&#8221; he said. &#8220;If I say do it, they&#8217;re going to do it. That&#8217;s what leadership is all about.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump&#8217;s past policy reversals were also a topic at the debate, with moderators and his Republican rivals questioning whether that showed indecision or ignorance of the issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He instead called it a strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I&#8217;ve never seen a successful person who wasn&#8217;t flexible, who didn&#8217;t have a certain degree of flexibility,&#8221; he said. &#8220;You have to have a certain degree of flexibility. \u2026 You have to be flexible, because you learn.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier on Thursday, the last two men to win the Republican nomination for president \u2014 Mitt Romney and Sen. Jon McCain, R-Ariz. \u2014 both condemned Trump as too reckless and inexperienced to serve as commander in chief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Leo Shane III covers Congress, Veterans Affairs and the White House for Military Times.
