No. Seriously. That was his response.
Speaking at a campaign rally here, he began by calling her speech “pathetic,” dismissing it as a stunt and saying, “It had nothing to do with foreign policy.”
Well, it had a lot to do with foreign policy in the sense of how Don Trump shouldn’t be making any. Trump held back on using the high power rubber / glue defense, but did unleash the always deadly I know you are, but what am I?
“Let me tell you. My temperament is so much tougher and so much better than her temperament,” Trump said. “And by the way, we need a tough temperament. All of these countries that are our allies — she talks about our allies — our allies think we’re very stupid people.”
Well, our allies certainly think some of us are very stupid people. Most of the evening Trump devoted to taunts based on the idea that only by following the secret Obama plan for two more terms could Hillary avoid being buried under a prison.
“Anything Obama wants, she’s going forward with,” Mr. Trump said. “Because you know why? She doesn’t want to go to jail. That’s why.” …
That line of attack closely aligns with the writing of Ed Klein, the conservative author whose books on Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama have been dismissed by critics as including fabricated accounts of events. Mr. Trump recently met with Mr. Klein.

Sure. Of course. Because conspiracy theories are all the policy that Trump’s very classy brain needs. Klein also wrote birther fiction and his stories about Obama were so obviously nuts that even conservatives panned his book. But not Trump!
Trump then continued his tirade against Clinton by invoking the investigation surrounding her use of a private email server as secretary of state.
“Hillary Clinton has to go to jail. She has to go to jail. I said that,” he said. “She’s guilty as hell.”
Guilty of… of… Yeah, charges are not necessary when you’ve got a temperament as tough as Trump.
Overall, 43 percent of fourth-grade boys graded Trump’s speech as “weak.” 22 percent also gave it a “sad.” The other 35 percent said “dude, why is that crazy guy orange?”
