Hillary Clinton declared Donald Trump "temperamentally unfit" to be president in a searing foreign policy speech in San Diego Thursday. "Donald Trump's ideas aren't just different — they are dangerously incoherent," Clinton said, describing the presumptive GOP nominee's proposals as "a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds, and outright lies." Clinton also predicted that Trump might start a nuclear war should someone ever get under his "very thin skin."
She then contrasted her extensive foreign policy experience as secretary of state to Trump's lack thereof. "He says he has foreign policy experience because he ran the Miss Universe pageant in Russia," Clinton said, later adding that "there's no risk of people losing their lives if you blow up a golf course." "It's clear," Clinton concluded, "[Trump] doesn't have a clue what he is talking about."
