Trump On Clinton: ‘She Doesn’t Know What She’s Doing’

AmericaNow Staff  ·  June 6, 2016

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has asserted that his likely general election challenger, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, “doesn’t know what she’s doing.”

On June 4, Trump told Fox News host Judge Jeanine Pirro that President Barack Obama and his former secretary of state, Clinton, have no right to judge his foreign policy credentials.

“He’s doing a lousy job,” Trump said of Obama, adding that politicians are unfit to be commander-in-chief.

“Look at the mess the world is in,” Trump said. “If the politicians never entered office for the last 15 years — that includes Obama and it includes more people than Obama — you wouldn’t have problems that you have today.”

The business mogul then slammed Clinton as “incompetent.”

“She doesn’t have a clue, she doesn’t know what she’s doing,” Trump added. “She doesn’t have the strength, the energy. She cannot be president.”

On June 2, Clinton gave a thorough dissection of why she believed Trump was unfit to be commander-in-chief during a foreign policy address in San Diego, California.

“We all know the tools Donald Trump brings to the table,” Clinton said, according to ABC News. “Bragging, mocking, composing nasty tweets. I’m willing to bet he’s writing a few right now.”

The former secretary of state mocked Trump for previously saying that hosting the Miss Universe pageant in Russia counted as foreign policy experience. She also asserted that his temperament would alienate U.S. allies while emboldening its enemies.

“He is not just unprepared,” Clinton added. “He is temperamentally unfit to hold an office that requires knowledge, stability and immense responsibility.”

The former Secretary of State concluded that Trump would be liable to start a war by lashing out against foreign powers that get under his “thin skin.”

On June 3, the business mogul dismissed the accusation during an interview with CNN host Jake Tapper.

“I don’t have thin skin,” Trump said. “I have very strong and very thick skin. I have a strong temperament. It’s a very good temperament and it’s a very in-control temperament, or I wouldn’t have built this unbelievable company. … You can’t have that success without good temperament.”
