Hillary Clinton Reveals What Trump Is 'Counting On' To Win Election
HuffPost
The former secretary of state issued a dire warning about the former president.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned that Donald Trump needs to be taken more seriously ― and that the former president’s constant barrage of “outrageous” claims shouldn’t be dismissed.
“Part of what Trump is counting on is for people to get desensitized,” Clinton, who lost to Trump in 2016, told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, adding:
“I mean, ‘Oh, my gosh, did you hear what he said yesterday? Did you hear who he attacked? Did you hear the viciousness?’ And it’s just, like with a shrug, ‘OK, fine we’re moving on.’ Well, Americans need to understand that they have to take Trump both seriously and literally. He has said what he wants to do. He and his allies with Project 2025, his desire to be a dictator, at least on day one, all of that is in the public record.”
Clinton, who had also been a U.S. senator and first lady, said voters should take Trump at his word and “be outraged” by what he says.
