Donald Trump Tweets at Hillary Clinton: ‘Be Careful’

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks about recent comments from Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump during a campaign stop December 8, in Salem, N.H. Hillary, once you rant about “a penchant for sexism”, who’re you referencing to.

Whether the topic is women, Muslims or immigrants, Trump has consistently doubled down after making inflammatory statements during the 2016 White House campaign.

At a campaign event in MI this week, Trump commented on Clinton’s 2008 primary defeat, using a Yiddish term that has historically applied to male genitals. “She’s 10. She’s just a little girl”.

Since then, no evidence has been produced from either intelligence officials or the Clinton campaign that puts any validity to her claim.

The Hill reports, “The Clinton campaign has sought to steer clear of engaging directly with Trump, saying after his “schlonged” remarks that they didn’t intend to weigh in, but that ‘everyone who understands the humiliation this degrading language inflicts on all women should'”.

Earlier in the day Wednesday, Trump appeared to mock Clinton’s Tuesday town-hall event in Iowa, warning her not to play the “war-on-women or women-being-degraded card”. ‘Hillary Clinton will always stand up for anyone who speaks up and speaks out against bullies who only show how weak they are when they demean others or try to shout them down’.

While the other candidates for the Republican presidential nomination tread carefully to avoid antagonizing Trump’s numerous supporters, for Clinton, hitting hard offers immediate benefits.

“Hillary said ‘I really deplore the tone and inflammatory rhetoric of his campaign.’ I deplore the death and destruction she caused – stupidity”, Mr. Trump said on Twitter last night.

The former First Lady gained 50 per cent of the Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents against Mr. Sanders’ 34 per cent, according to a CNN/ORC poll, which was conducted after the latest presidential debate of the Democratic Party. Some 47 percent said Clinton would be better able to handle economic issues, 72 percent said she can handle foreign policy matters best and 51 percent said she can handle gun policy better, the poll showed.
