Clinton: Psychiatrists Can Explain Trump's Affection For Tyrants
Calling her opponent, Donald Trump, "ignorant, erratic and emotionally childlike," Hillary Clinton said that a Trump presidency might lead America and the world into a totally unnecessary military or economic conflict.
"This is not someone who should ever have the nuclear codes," the Democratic frontrunner said at San Diego in her strongest condemnation yet of Trump. "It's not hard to imagine Donald Trump leading us into a war just because somebody got under his very thin skin."
Even as she had been trying to identify how she can defeat her opponent, Clinton seemed to have got the hang of getting her audience's attention. All her listeners cheered her as she called Trump's foreign policy "not even really ideas, just a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds and outright lies."
Addressing her contestant as "Donald" throughout, she combined sarcasm with a more sombre assessment of Trump as a childish man with a character as well as inclination for conflict that would "take our country down a truly dangerous path."
Hence, Clinton assessed Trump's speech as a foreign policy address that showed no new proposals. She called him a man who "doesn't have a clue what he's talking about," she said. "Donald doesn't see the complexity," she added.
Questioning his temperament and psychological state, she said: "I don't understand Donald's bizarre fascination with dictators and strong men who have no love for America." Yet, he seemed to receive a lot of appreciation from President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia and the North Korean government of Kim Jong-un. "I will leave it to the psychiatrists to explain his affection for tyrants," she explained.
Her pungent speech received heavy cable TV coverage, but she also said that she imagined him "composing nasty tweets" about her as she spoke. And, indeed, Mr. Trump wrote: "Bad performance by Crooked Hillary Clinton! Reading poorly from teleprompter! She doesn't even look presidential."
