Trump aide: Clintons don’t ‘get what it means to be American’

An aide to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump says Bill and Hillary Clinton don’t “get what it means to be an American.”

“I think the Clintons are so separated from regular people, they can’t quite connect,” Jason Miller, a top spokesman for Trump, argued on Fox News’s “The Kelly File” on Wednesday.

“And so, they live in alternate reality, and I don’t think they get what it means to be an American,” he said.

Miller discussed the Trump campaign’s strategy heading into the second presidential debate of 2016, promising “more specifics” and saying the debate would highlight how a Trump presidency would help consumers.

Miller also said Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is “always good on the first answer” in a debate but “has a tough time relating with people” in followup questions.

Clinton and Trump are slated to debate Sunday at Washington University in St. Louis after the pair sparred at a debate last week that was seen as a boost for Clinton’s campaign.
