Making more excuses than a carnival psychic on her book tour for “What Happened,” 69-year-old former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton can’t stop herself from re-litigating the 2016 campaign. Despite blaming everyone but herself for her Nov. 8, 2016 election loss, Hillary takes every opportunity to swipe at President Donald Trump. Trump “has such a limited understand of the world,” Hillary told the liberal press hanging on every word. “He admires authoritarians,” told the New Yorker, repeating the exact same attacks against Trump during the debates and in the campaign. One small problem: Hillary lost the election Nov. 8, 2016. Hillary talks about how Trump’s “played” by Russian President Vladimir Putin or North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, but doesn’t admit to driving U.S.-Russian relations to the lowest level since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.
After isolating herself after the election, Hillary’s come out of her shell with both barrels blazing, ripping Trump at every opportunity. She’s the first to accuse-and-convict Trump of Russian collusion but only when it suits her changing moods. One minute she blames former FBI Director James Comey for stealing her election, the next minute it’s Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) or Russian President Vladimir Putin. But whomever she blames for losing the election, it’s never herself for running a mediocre campaign. Hillary raises in the press all the reasons why Trump shouldn’t be president. But voters in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania picked a political novice over Hillary’s vast reservoir of experience. Egged on by the press, Hillary can’t stop herself telling American voters what a mistake they made voting for Trump. She rewrites the book on being a sore loser.
Repeating worn out talking points why voters should not vote for Trump, Hillary acts like she’s still campaigning. “In fact, before the crisis with North Korea, he [Trump] was praising Kim Jong-un. He clearly has a bromance toward Putin, who he lauds as a great leader. He’s being played by the Putins and the Kim Jong-uns of the world,” said Hillary. Exaggerating Trump’s love for dictators, Trump never said Putin was a “great” leader. What he said was he’s in control and gets things done in Russia. When it comes to Kim, Trump expressed a willingness to meet with the dictator to get him to abandon his nukes and ballistic missiles. Hillary knows that her former boss, President Barack Obama, did next to nothing to stop Kim’s nuke and ballistic missile programs. “I’m not even sure he’s aware of that,” said Hillary referring North Korea’s threats against the U.S. and its allies.
Hillary knows that Trump’s the only U.S. president to directly confront Kim, telling the dictator Aug. 8 that if he doesn’t stop threatening the U.S. he’ll be met with “fire-and-fury.” Hillary criticized Trump for inflaming the situation rather than letting North Korea know there are limits to U.S. patience. Threatening to turn the U.S. to “ashes and darkness” with a nuclear strike, North Korea has directly threatened the U.S. with nuclear war. When a president’s confronted with that he’s not spending his time rehashing old campaign nonsense. “Because he has such limited understanding of the world, everything is in relation to how it makes him feel. And therefore he has little objective distance, which a leader must have . . .” said Hillary, showing utter contempt for the commander-in-chief and U.S. foreign policy. Hillary’s telegraphs to the world not to trust the U.S
Going off script on her book tour, Hillary can’t control her rage over losing the election, something for which she takes no responsibility. Spending her time slamming the commander-in-chief, Hillary has no regard for how her angry outbursts harm U.S. foreign policy. “Making decisions in the Oval Office requires a level of dispassionate, reasoned analysis. We’ve seen no evidence that he’s capable of this,” said Hillary, taking another cheap shot at the president. Watching the press yuck-it-up listening to Hillary’s diatribes shows the real lack of objectivity. No one in the press is willing to confront Hillary’s highly inappropriate behavior, besmirching an existing president trying to manage the most dangerous national security issues. Instead focusing on her book, Hillary takes every chance possible to tell the world she would have been a far better president than Trump.
Watching Hillary go off script to denounce Trump shows her abysmal selfishness, concerned only about advancing her own agenda and financial interests. Rehashing old campaign talking points about Trump lets Hillary vent her anger over losing the election but hurts the country. Saying Trump “is immature, with poor impulse control, unequalled for the position that he holds, reactive, not proactive, not strategic, either at home or on the world stage,” shows the extent of Hillary’s vitriol, going for the jugular whenever given the chance. No one was more impulsive in the Oval Office than her husband, former President Bill Clinton. Hillary forgets the disgrace her husband brought on the Oval Office. No matter how much Hillary demonizes Trump, it’s high time for her to accept responsibility for her failure in 2016. Slamming Trump only harms U.S. domestic and foreign policy.
