![]() She is really trying to make an argument about the commander-in-chief test and define him before he can define himself. KEITH: A couple of things - the line that she delivered that I think was the point of this speech for her is she said making Donald Trump our commander-in-chief would be a historic mistake. SHAPIRO: Tam, what do you sense the Clinton campaign was trying to accomplish with this speech? Donald Trump may not get it, but that's what honor looks like. But she did talk a lot about her travels overseas as secretary of state and more than once she talked about that pivotal moment for the Obama administration in the situation room advising the president on the bin Laden raid and then watching and waiting while that happened.Īnd she used that event to attack Trump on something that he has said where he - and he later softened it - but he said that he would have the military go after the families of terrorists.ĬLINTON: During the raid to kill bin Laden, when every second counted, our SEALs took the time to move the women and children in the compound to safety. KEITH: She didn't talk about Benghazi or the Iraq War or her - even her views on the appropriate time for American military intervention. SHAPIRO: Well, she did talk a lot about Donald Trump, but also talked about her own national security and foreign-policy experience. And the fact is she does have vulnerabilities that could be criticized in those very areas.Īnd in the past, both Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump have gone after her and said, yes, she has experience, but not always the best judgment. You know, Republicans out on cable and reacting to this expressed frustration, though, that he wasn't criticizing her over the Iran nuclear deal or Libya or Syria or Benghazi. SHAPIRO: I think he misspelled teleprompter in there. She doesn't even look presidential - exclamation point." Reading poorly from teleprompter - exclamation point. His last tweet during the speech said, quote, "bad performance by crooked Hillary - exclamation point. KEITH: Well, it actually looked like he was starting to live tweet the speech right up until that moment where she delivered that line about him tweeting, and then it's been radio silence ever sent. I'm willing to bet he's writing a few right now. And then there were times where it seemed like she was just straight up trolling Donald Trump.ĬLINTON: We all know the tools Donald Trump brings to the table - bragging, mocking, composing nasty tweets. And it was sort of zingers weaved in with anecdotes about her time as secretary of state, her own view about America's role in the world. KEITH: She went after Donald Trump, and she went after him. SHAPIRO: Tell us more about what Hillary Clinton said in this speech. SHAPIRO: NPR's Tamara Keith joins us now here in the studio. HILLARY CLINTON: This is not someone who should ever have the nuclear codes because it's not hard to imagine Donald Trump leading us into a war just because somebody got under his very thin skin. Instead, Clinton made the case that Donald Trump is unfit to be commander-in-chief. She didn't focus so much on her own policy proposals. In San Diego, ahead of the California primary, she gave a speech about national security. His teleprompter take Wednesday contrasted with many other occasions where he’s chided rivals for employing them.Hillary Clinton did not hold back this afternoon. “I’ve been given good reviews when I use crazy teleprompters, can you believe it?” “I like using them on occasion, too, by the way. Seconds later, Trump – who’s recently started using the speech-reading devices to deliver major policy remarks – said he actually doesn’t mind them. If you listen to Hillary, it’s like ‘Donald Trump doesn’t want NATO.’ And she reads from teleprompter,” he said at a rally in Atlanta, before launching into an imitation of his likely general election opponent: “‘Donald … Trump … doesn’t … want … NATO.’” ![]() ![]() The presumptive GOP presidential nominee, as he often does, imitated Hillary Clinton reading from a prompter and made her appear stiff and robotic. Donald Trump on Wednesday admitted that he likes using teleprompters after relentlessly mocking politicians who rely on them throughout most of his campaign. ![]()
