Trump bashes Hillary Clinton's foreign policy, calling her a 'world-class liar'

Source: CNBC

Donald Trump lit into Hillary Clinton on Wednesday, calling her a "world class liar" and criticizing her time as secretary of state as the tycoon looked to reset his presidential campaign after several rocky weeks.

The presumptive Republican nominee said Clinton ran the State Department like her "own personal hedge fund," and he criticized trade deals negotiated during her tenure. He also called on Sen. Bernie Sanders' voters to support him.

"She doesn't have the temperament, or as Bernie Sanders said very strongly, the judgment to be president," Trump said, using a word she hurled against him recently in raising questions about his emotional stability.

Trump said that during Clinton's tenure as America's top diplomat, she "managed to almost single-handedly destabilize the entire Middle East." He cited the loss of a friendly government in Egypt and an aggressive military approach that he said handed Libya to ISIS.

His rhetoric is pitched at a low level, and very broadly without specifics

Just keep the heat on that goon

Mr. Dumpster, let's fact check that statement - I have been on this planet as long as you have - I do believe the fact remains George W Bush unilaterally,"single-handedly destabilize the entire Middle East"..we all know how that ended up -

"The loss of a friendly government in Egypt" - I need to do more research - there is pro and con on the subject..fill in facts at your convenience folk's -

Now how hypocritical is this "aggressive military approach that he said handed Libya to ISIS - as I live and breathe....can't have it both ways....and yet, NO ONE has a solution....

My focus is on the prize - and that is the DEM HOUSE, SENATE, and White House....

This worm can crawl back under the nearest rock....and wait for the tide to come in and wash the scum from our shores....(I know, Harsh) - Be well all!

with Egypt being hostile to US - just question pro or con whether they remain friendly or not....the people of Egypt had had enough - Dignity was at the forefront of every protest movement's demands; dignity in the face of decades of authoritarianism and repression

Hey Trump - why do you blame Hillary - I so wish we had honest journalism...I'm sure Crooks and Liars will do a piece on this comment as well as fact checkers.... Media Matters etc....

A quote from factcheck--
In the 12 years of FactCheck.org’s existence, we’ve never seen his match.

He stands out not only for the sheer number of his factually false claims, but also for his brazen refusals to admit error when proven wrong.


Would that make him "Universal Class"? He's yuuuuge! (except his hands...his hands are tiny)

in his right wing hate speech, he spoke about the "trade deals" , trying to lay the blame on these deals as being from the democratic party----------------------no they were not, and the presumptive nominee had better get a point to point rebuttal on these "deals .

I would have to say that the presumptive nominee in this party had better get ahead of this issue and quickly.

Ever since Nixon, the American public has said NO to these "trade deals", it should be remembered that almost everyone of these "trade deals" came from a republican house, senate and president.

And the presumptive nominee in this party had better start in my opinion start talking on who, what, and why on the "trade deals'--------------------end of story--------------instead of drumpf setting the agenda--------------those mid west rust states are critical
