Hillary Clinton a 'world-class liar': Trump
June 23, 2016 00:09
Donald Trump went on a blistering offensive against Hillary Clinton on Wednesday, calling her disqualified to run for president and savaging her record on trade, foreign policy, human rights and immigration.
The billionaire Republican candidate for president, who has denounced Clinton's &42 million war chest as "blood money," sharpened his attacks on the polarizing Democratic nominee after disastrous headlines have fueled speculation that his controversial campaign is unravelling.
"Hillary Clinton may be the most corrupt person ever to seek the presidency," he said in a speech at Trump SoHo, his five-star hotel in Manhattan to shouts of "Trump, Trump, Trump" from supporters.
He said the stakes in the November general election could not be higher, presenting himself as an innovative thinker who could get things done and protect voters from an economic and political system rigged against them by career politicians, Clinton included.
Trump attacked Clinton as a "world-class liar" who had "perfected the politics of personal profit and theft" and lacked the judgment to be America's first woman commander-in-chief.
"She ran the State Department like her own personal hedge fund -- doing favours for repressive regimes, and many others, in exchange for cash," he alleged of her tenure as America's top diplomat.
He alleged that her "disgraceful" foreign policy had cost America "thousands of lives and trillions and trillions of dollars" in reference to her support for the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.
"In just four years, secretary Clinton managed to almost single-handedly destabilise the entire Middle East," he added, calling the Islamic State extremist group a threat because of her decisions.
