Trump adviser: ‘Death, destruction’ are Clinton’s foreign policy signature
Donald Trump’s campaign is stepping up its attacks on Hillary Clinton’s foreign policy experience, responding to a speech the Democratic presidential front-runner gave Thursday in which she called Trump unfit to have control of the nuclear button.
{mosads}”You see chaos, death and destruction everywhere you look. That is Hillary Clinton’s foreign policy signature — a trail of blood and death in her wake,” top Trump adviser Stephen Miller said on CNN Thursday evening.
“Hillary Clinton represents an internationalist, America-last foreign policy that seeks to nation build and spread democracy with American blood and dollars that has proven to be a catastrophic failure. Look at the Middle East today,” Miller said, calling Clinton the “worst secretary of State in American history.”
He then defended Trump’s foreign policy experience, saying the GOP presumptive nominee has the “philosophy” necessary to be commander in chief.
“The most important qualifying factor when it comes to our nation’s foreign policy is philosophy,” Miller said. “Philosophy is ‘America First.'”
Clinton unleashed on Trump’s foreign policy experience at a speech in San Diego Thursday afternoon, calling his ideas “dangerously incoherent.”
“He is not just unprepared — he is temperamentally unfit to hold an office that requires knowledge, stability and immense responsibility,” she said.
“Imagine him deciding whether to send your spouses or children into battle. Imagine if he had not just his Twitter account at his disposal when he’s angry but America’s entire arsenal.
“Do we want him making those calls?” Clinton said. “Someone thin-skinned and quick to anger, who lashes out at the smallest criticisms? Do we want his finger anywhere near the button?”
