LOS ANGELES.–Former Secretary of State and 2016 Democrat presidential nominee 76-year-old Hillary Rodham Clinton likes to give slam her 2016 rival 78-year-old former President Donald Trump . Hillary was the first and only women to run as a major party nominee, falling short, but beating Trump in the popular vote, losing in the Electoral College. Hillary couldn’t fathom the fact that a sizable part of the electorate didn’t trust her for president, falling to a political novice when Trump prevailed in 2016. Hillary was the one in the nationally televised debate that said Trump was a “Putin puppet,” starting what would be years of fake stories in the mainstream press about Trump’s alleged ties to the Kremlin. When the matter was investigated for 22-months and $40 million by former Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Trump was eventually acquitted March 23, 2019 of any Russian collusion.
Hillary used a fake dossier, AKA The Steele Dossier, used by her campaign to discredit Trump but in wound up impeaching Hillary. Once the public found out she deleted 33,000 emails off her private server for time served while Secretary of State, the public knew she committed obstruction of justice and other crimes. Any other citizen caught tampering or deleting electronic data would be automatically convicted for obstruction of justice. Yet the FBI, that pursued a counterintelligence investigation of Trump for years, concluded that there was no basis to press charges against Hillary. Former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, who was fired from the department, concluded there was insufficient probable cause to press charges against Hillary. Nothing could be more preposterous knowing that tampering, especially under Congressional subpoena, with electronic files was grounds for obstruction of justice.
Hillary now says that Kamala needs to look out for an October surprise that would discredit her campaign, maybe something related to the porous U.S. border. Biden called Kamala the Border Czar, but her first trip to the border was Saturday, Sept. 28. Kamala promised a new program to stop the unobstructed flow of illegal aliens across the U.S. border. Trump wonders why Joe and Hillary did nothing to deal with the border crisis over the last four years? “The two candidates have presented extremely different agendas for where they want to take our country,” Hillary told BBC News. Trump wants to end the Ukraine War, something opposed to Kamala who would continue the conflict indefinitely, supplying Ukraine’s 46-year-old President Volodymyr Zelensky a blank check. Putin has warned recently that the U.S. and NATO would be held accountable for missile strikes in Russia.
When it comes to the U.S. economy, Trump and Kamala couldn’t be any different, with Trump calling for more tax cuts to stimulate growth. Kamala wants to raise taxes on businesses during a potential recession, something that could sink the economy. Hillary said there would be repercussions ‘whether or not we continue supporting Ukraine, whether we can get some kind of workable resolution in the Middle East and so much more,” Hillary said, knowing how different are things today than when Trump was in office. “We both want to see a fair deal made,” Trump said. “The war, Trump said, “should stop and the president [Zelensky] wants it to stop, and I’m sure President Putin wants it to stop and that’s a good combination,” Trump said, promising to work around-the-clock to get it done. Kamala promises to keep the war going indefinitely, supplying Zelensky unlimited cash-and-weapons.
Clinton created the anti-Russian narrative against Trump through her fake Steele dossier. Steele was forced to admit that there was no underlying data linking Trump to the Kremlin or any Russian official. Yet 62-year-old former FBI Director James Comey accused Trump of colluding with the Kremlin. Comey never retracted any of his false claims, instead doubling-down on his contention that Trump colluded with the Kremlin to win the 2016 presidential election. Even after Trump was cleared by Mueller, Comey and partisan House Democats, like former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Rep. Adam Schiff (R-Calif.), insisted they had proof that Trump colluded with the Kremlin. Hillary is right that economy and foreign will look dramatically different under Trump who will end inflation and the Ukraine War, promoting normal ties with Russia.
Hillary has such a deep vendetta against Trump for losing the 2016 presidential election she can’t be trusted for anything she says about Trump. Every day that Joe and Kamala stay in office is another bad day at the border and in the economy, dealing now with a slowdown or low-grade recession. Hillary can’t imagine that Joe and Kamala have done a poor job of managing the economy. She blames Trump for the Covid-19 global pandemic that tanked the U.S. economy, leading to an economic shutdown and economic hardship. Kamala blames Trump for the Covid-weakened economy but she knows it wasn’t Trump’s fault. Trump pre-Covid economy was humming along without inflation at about 2.5% GDP, with the lowest interest rates in generations. Joe and Kamala spread the worst inflation in 40 years, creating undue hardship with ordinary taxpayers.
