Clinton says Trump is ‘dangerous and no longer funny’

Former President Bill Clinton waves as he departs the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel in Scranton, Pa., Thursday after attending a private fundraiser for his wife’s presidential campaign.

She said that she could laugh at Trump’s insults directed to her, but she can’t laugh at what he’s saying about Muslims.

Clinton said, “Most people in America-92 percent the last I checked…support these common sense measures-universal background checks, closing the gun show loophole, closing the online and Charleston loophole, and doing whatever we can to appeal the immunity from all liability that gun makers and sellers have”.

“I think for weeks you and everyone else were just bringing folks to hysterical laughter and all of that”, Clinton told the comedian. At a town hall here on Wednesday, Clinton delivered her most damning, direct criticism of Trump, saying that he traffics “in prejudice and paranoia”, and that his Muslim proposal was “not only shameful, it’s unsafe”.

The presidential candidate went on Late Night with host Seth Meyers on Thursday night, and the host asked her point-blank what she thought of potential opponent Donald Trump! Clinton believes that Trump is only giving terrorists “a great propaganda tool”. And because it has crossed that line, I think everybody – and especially other Republicans – need to stand up and say, ‘Enough. “How are we going to be prepared?'” The remarks bore little resemblance to Clinton’s previous dismissals of Trump.

Clinton responded, “He’s a former President – he has been asked to do things by both President Obama and President George W. Bush… there’s a lot you can learn”.

But if she’s elected president, he would come in handy as a host and adviser.

“He will be great in just being a good advisor”, she added. “It’s not a total foreign, alien concept that people have guns and use them for appropriate purposes”. “It’s OK, it’s OK to be afraid”, she said. She had portrayed him as a reality TV sideshow who voiced more extreme terms for beliefs that, she contended, his more serious GOP rivals shared.
