Irony much? Hillary Clinton Says Trump Wants to do as Putin Does to Opponents

Hillary Clinton just doesn't learn. She's making headlines again for ugly rhetoric against Donald Trump. 

Trump, her one-time friend and political contributor broke Hillary and many other Democrats when he won the 2016 presidential election. Hillary has never recovered.

Hillary Clinton was interviewed on a podcast, "Democracy Docket", hosted by her old friend Marc Elias, a Democrat election lawyer. He served as general counsel on her 2016 presidential campaign. She told him that Trump wants to do as Putin does and "kill his opposition" if he wins re-election. Be scared, be very, very scared. 

"Trump was like, you know, just gaga over Putin because Putin does what Trump would like to do: Kill his opposition, imprison his opposition, drive journalists and others into exile, rule without any check or balance," Clinton said. 

"That’s what Trump really wants," she continued. "And so we have to be very conscious of how he sees the world because, in that world, he only sees strongmen leaders. He sees Putin, he sees Xi, he sees Kim Jong-un in North Korea. Those are the people he is modeling himself after, and we’ve been down this road in our, you know, world history. We sure don’t want to go down that again."

This garbage would be hilarious if it wasn't so sick. This bitter and toxic old woman has zero self-awareness. A running joke is that the Clintons have people around them who end up dead under unusual circumstances. 

Hillary Clinton is famous for her not-so-friendly relationship with the press. Remember that video when Hillary's handlers used a rope to keep reporters away from her on the campaign trail, as though they were being rounded up? 

Clinton avoided prosecution though she and the DNC paid for the bogus Steele dossier that falsely tied Trump to Putin.

She also avoided prosecution for destroying thousands of government emails she had on a private server in her home. 

The Clinton Foundation is notoriously corrupt. She and her husband, the former president, milked their foreign connections for millions of dollars in contributions. 

Hillary likes to say that Trump wouldn't be where he is as a successful businessman without being handed the opportunity by his father. Hillary Clinton was promised a seat in the Senate for standing by her man when he went through impeachment. 

Does she think voters have forgotten who she is and her history in politics? She was preaching to the choir on the podcast, but still. She is too Trump-deranged to stop herself. She's obsessed with Donald Trump. 

Hillary was humiliated by the Russians when she delivered a bright red plastic 'reset' button to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov when she became Secretary of State. The wording on it was wrong. The Obama administration's outreach to Putin was to improve the relationship between Russia and the United States in 2009. As we know, during the Obama administration, Putin seized Crimea. 

Clinton has frequently predicted that Trump would pull the United States out of NATO in a second term. He was tough on NATO in his first term, which resulted in NATO members fulfilling their dues commitments. Previous presidents had groused that other nations weren't pulling their weight but Trump was the only one to get them to pay up. Last time I checked, the United States is still a member of NATO.

"My view, having negotiated with Putin, and knowing one of the reasons he went after me is because he knew I would deal with him in an appropriate way, and Trump would basically do whatever he wanted, it’s really important to think about what could happen to our world with Trump back in the White House," Clinton told Elias in Friday's podcast.

"Withdrawing us from NATO, not caring about what happens with Europe … The idea that he wants Ukraine to fail. The idea that he doesn’t want us to be able to surveil our enemies. This is a very scary prospect," she said, referencing some Republican opposition to the Ukraine aid bill moving through Congress and the FISA surveillance reauthorization legislation that Trump opposed.

Putin wasn't afraid of Hillary Clinton. He laughed at her. She's completely broken and there is no fixing her.
