In a set piece clearly written ahead of time by consultants, she pretended to address America’s friends and allies abroad as a statesman, speaking on behalf of her country. “I know this [ie, Trump’s] campaign has caused some questioning and some worries with many leaders around the globe. I know. I’ve talked with a number of them. But I want to, on behalf of myself and I think on the behalf of a majority of the American people, say that our word is good.”
Sounds great. I’m sure her consultants told her (and keep telling her now), it was a “presidential” moment.
But once again, Trump the boxer hit back. “All of the things she is talking about could have been taken care of in the last ten years when she had power. And if she comes to power, she won’t take care of them.”
And again: “Hillary, she’s got experience, but it’s bad experience … This country can’t afford to have another four years of this bad experience.”
So, programmatic politician, versus the boxer. The emperor in her birthday suit of lies, versus the boy in the street proclaiming her nakedness.
