Trump began by pre-empting Clinton's next salvo, a foreign policy speech Thursday aimed squarely at Trump, by suggesting the speech is full of "such lies" and capped off his denunciation of the Democrat by insisting Clinton "should not be allowed to run" because of her controversial use of a private email server during her time as secretary of state, which Trump said amounted to a breach of "federal law."
But Trump spent most of his speech Wednesday night in Sacramento with
his sights trained squarely on Hillary Clinton. And true to form, the
brash billionaire knocked Clinton not just on policy, but also more
personally.
"Hillary is not a talented person. In
fact she is a person with no actual talent. All you have to do is watch
her speak," Trump said. "This is not a president."
Trump
slammed Clinton's time as secretary of state, suggesting the policies
she supported have "made the Middle East more dangerous than ever
before."
Trump also hammered Clinton over foreign policy decisions that he himself also supported, including the decisions to invade Iraq in 2003 and to launch military strikes in Libya in 2011.
He also accused Clinton of "sleeping" when the U.S. consulate in Benghazi came under terrorist attack.
The
de facto GOP nominee also hit Clinton on domestic policy, accusing
Clinton hyperbolically of wanting to "ship all of our jobs overseas" and
of wanting to "abolish the Second Amendment."
And while he suggested Clinton "should
not be allowed to run" and that her presence in the presidential race is
"a disgrace to the laws of our country," Trump insisted he was eager to take her on in the general election.
"With that being said, I want to beat her," he said.
