That was a âmajor national-security addressâ?
Hillary Clintonâs folks billed her San Diego speech Thursday as a big deal. And it certainly was a prime opportunity to lay out her views on foreign policy and Americaâs role in the world.
But what she delivered was a
45-minute rant against Donald Trump â with nary a clue about her plans for leading America on the international stage.
Worse, her string of dump-on-Trump quips mightâve worked better if she had substituted her name for his, starting with her attack on Trumpâs âseries of rantsâ â a perfect description of her own speech.
Clinton tried to portray Trump as âdangerous.â But what do you call it when a secretary of state, to shield herself from accountability, stores classified emails (some beyond âtop secretâ) on her private, unsecured server, leaving them vulnerable to hackers the world over?
Or who goes home for the night with a US consulate besieged by al Qaeda-linked terrorists â then later lies to the victimsâ families about how a YouTube video was to blame?
Clinton called Trump âtemperamentally unfitâ to be commander-in-chief. But how would you describe an ex-top official who continually lies to the public and holds herself above the law?
Trump âdoesnât understandâ the world, she said â but then denied that the world has laughed at President Obamaâs weakness. She even claimed weâre âsaferâ with Obamaâs deal with Iran, which gives the mullahs a clear path to nuclear weapons and hundreds of billions to fund terrorism.
Who doesnât understand the world?
