Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump blasted Hillary Clinton as ‘trigger happy’ and ‘reckless’ in a tough speech on national security in Philadelphia where he also called for a substantial defense buildup.
‘She’s trigger-happy and very unstable. Whether we like it or not, that’s what’s going on. She’s also reckless,’ Trump told a crowd at the Union League of Philadelphia.
The real estate mogul went after the former secretary of state in what Clinton believes to be her own wheelhouse, saying, ‘Unlike my opponent, my foreign policy will emphasize diplomacy, not destruction.’
‘Sometimes it seemed like there wasn’t a country in the Middle East that Hillary Clinton didn’t want to invade, intervene in, or topple,’ Trump said, referencing Clinton’s vote for the Iraq War.
Trump ran through a litany of global problems from Libya to Syria. ‘This is Hillary Clinton’s legacy, failure and death,’ he said, reading prepared remarks from a teleprompter.
