WASHINGTON: Hillary Clinton on Thursday blasted her likely general election rival Donald Trump as a threat to US democracy and declared him unqualified to be president, unleashing some of her toughest criticism yet of the Republican presumptive nominee.
“The threat that Donald Trump poses is so dramatic to our country, to our democracy and our economy,” the former secretary of state told CNN in an interview.
“I know how hard this job is, and I know that we need steadiness as well as strength and smarts in it,” she added. “And I have concluded he is not qualified to be president of the United States.”
The statement marks a hardening of her position on Trump.
