Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Thursday that former President Donald Trump is now “more unhinged, more unstable” and more dangerous than when she faced him in the 2016 presidential election.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Thursday that former President Donald Trump is now “more unhinged, more unstable” and more dangerous than when she faced him in the 2016 presidential election. “I think he’s more unhinged, more unstable,” the losing 2016 Democratic nominee told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on “The Source.” “I think you see that all the time in both his rallies and his kind of word-salad-after-word-salad speeches.” Clinton – the first woman to capture a major-party nomination for president – also drew a contrast between her 2016 effort and Kamala Harris’ campaign, saying the vice president has centered her message on reminding voters how dangerous Trump could be for the country. “I think that she’s running her campaign based on a lot of the lessons that we have learned over the last eight years. First and foremost, how incredibly dangerous Donald Trump is. That wasn’t maybe as clear as it should have been back in 2016. But it sure is now,” Clinton said. “And I think her warnings, the warnings of not just Democrats like President Obama, but the people who actually observed him up close for the four years he was actually in the White House are warning us with everything they possibly can say.” Clinton’s comments on “The Source” come days after the publication of remarks by Trump’s former chief of staff, retired Marine Gen. John Kelly, who said in new interviews that the former president met the definition of a “fascist.” Kelly, who was Trump’s chief of staff from 2017 to 2019, also told The New York Times that the former president “certainly prefers the dictator approach to government” and confirmed to The Atlantic that Trump had said he wished his military personnel showed him the same deference Adolf Hitler’s Nazi generals showed the German dictator during World War II.
