Hillary Clinton Attacks Donald Trump in Foreign Policy Speech (Video)
The Democratic presidential candidate delivered a stinging rebuke of the presumptive Republican nominee Thursday in San Diego, and explained why he is unfit to be president.Hillary Clinton may be taking a new approach on the campaign trail. In a foreign policy talk given Thursday, the Democratic presidential candidate eviscerated Donald Trump and his qualifications for the presidency.
“He is not just unprepared,” Clinton said during a 35-minute speech in San Diego on Thursday. “He is temperamentally unfit to hold an office that requires knowledge, stability and immense responsibility. This is not someone who should ever have the nuclear codes, because it’s not hard to imagine Donald Trump leading us into a war just because somebody got under his very thin skin.”
Trump responded with insults on Twitter:
Bad performance by Crooked Hillary Clinton! Reading poorly from the telepromter! She doesn’t even look presidential!

Crooked Hillary no longer has credibility – too much failure in office. People will not allow another four years of incompetence!

The Clinton campaign shot back.
Imagine if he had not just his Twitter account at his disposal when he’s angry, but America’s entire arsenal. https://t.co/e7M2CV3sj6

The tools Donald Trump brings to the table—bragging, mocking, composing nasty tweets—won’t do the trick.
