In one of the most savage speeches of her political
career so far, Hillary Clinton, yesterday, threw away the diplomatic tactics
that has characterized her previous press addresses and went straight for the
jugular, unleashing a series of biting attacks on presumptive Republican
Presidential nominee Donald Trump.
Clinton warned that Trump should not be let anywhere near the nuclear
codes because he could start a war when somebody "got under his very thin
skin."
"He's not just unprepared -- he's temperamentally unfit to hold an
office that requires knowledge, stability and immense
responsibility,"
Clinton said during her speech on National Security in San Diego,
California.
She lambasted his "bragging" approach to foreign policy based
on a string of "nasty tweets" and accused him of harboring a
"bizarre" closeness with authoritarian leaders like Russian President
Vladimir Putin, the Communist rulers of China and North Korean dictator Kim
Jong-Un.
"We cannot put the safety of our children and grandchildren in
Donald Trump's hands. We cannot let him roll the dice with America,"
"He says he has foreign policy experience because he ran the Miss
Universe pageant in Russia," Clinton said. "The stakes in global
statecraft are infinitely higher and more complex than in the world of luxury
hotels."
"I will leave it to the psychiatrists to explain his attraction to
tyrants"
"You know, there's no risk of people losing their lives if you blow
up a golf-course deal," she said. "But it doesn't work like that in
world affairs."
"He also says, 'I know more about ISIS than the generals do,
believe me.' You know what? I don't believe him,"
"This is a man who said that more countries should have nuclear
weapons, including Saudi Arabia. This is someone who has threatened to abandon
our allies in NATO, the countries that work with us to root out terrorists
abroad before they strike us at home,"
"He believes we can treat the U.S. economy like one of his casinos
and default on our debts to the rest of the world, which would cause an
economic catastrophe far worse than anything we experienced in 2008," she
continued.
"He has said that he would order our military to carry out
torture."
"Imagine Donald Trump sitting in the Situation Room, making
life-or-death decisions on behalf of the United States. Imagine him deciding
whether to send your spouses or children into battle. Imagine if he had not
just his Twitter account at his disposal when he's angry, but America's entire
arsenal," she said.
"Do we want him making those calls -- someone thin-skinned and
quick to anger, who lashes out at the smallest criticism?" she asked
rhetorically. "Do we want his finger anywhere near the button?"
