Donald Trump says he has law enforcement and military endorsements locked down — at least in the abstract.

On Monday, Trump did an interview with a Florida TV station after he held a roundtable discussion with first responders.

"We had a fantastic meeting with the folks, (a) pretty large group of folks, and they’re very upset about the way they’re being treated, and I understand that fully," Trump said. "And they’ve endorsed me, endorsed me fully.”

“I’ve been endorsed by virtually every police department and police group. And I’ve been endorsed largely, at least conceptually, by the military. We’ve had tremendous veteran endorsements because the veterans have been treated so unfairly,” he continued.

While Trump does have the backing of some police unions and retired military personnel, Clinton has also been endorsed by some former military personnel. And many law enforcement agencies and the armed forces do not endorse candidates. In fact, military personnel are prohibited from even attending political events in uniform.
