Donald Trump: Hillary Clinton Ran the State Department Like a Failed Third World Leader

During a speech Wednesday in Tampa, Florida, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump kept up his attacks on his Democratic counterpart, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

We are going to end the government corruption. Hillary Clinton ran the State Department like a failed leader in a Third World Country. She sold favors and access in exchange for cash. As the AP documented, more than half of the people she met with outside government as secretary of state were Clinton Foundation donors—she even deleted 33,000 emails to hide the evidence of her crime.

It’s impossible to tell where the Clinton Foundation ends and the State Department begins.

Then she lied about her crime to Congress over and over again.

Bill Clinton essentially called the FBI director—James Comey—a liar, when he said the FBI director was spouting “bull.” They don’t realize that they owe the FBI director their political lives for refusing to recommend a prosecution for Hillary Clinton’s many crimes.

He saved Hillary Clinton from facing justice for her illegal and corrupt actions.

Remember: Bill Clinton was impeached for lying and obstructing justice, and also had to give up his law license.

Hillary Clinton created an illegal private email server—deliberately, willfully and with premeditation. She did so to cover up a vast pay-for-play scheme. Her actions made our enemies vulnerable to foreign hacking, and betrayed the security and safety of the United States. Her actions are criminal, purposeful and calculated.

That’s why I’ve called for a special prosecutor.

According to the current Real Clear Politics polling average, the constant barrage of attacks on Clinton’s credibility and trustworthiness appears to be taking its toll on her numbers. Two weeks ago, she had opened up a 10-point lead on Trump; her lead is now cut in half.

The purpose of the speech, however, was to discuss Trump’s plan to spur job creation and immigration security. It included his seven-point plan to “bring back jobs” by “creating millions of new jobs”:

One: I am going to withdraw the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which has not yet been ratified.

Two: I am going to appoint the toughest and smartest trade negotiators to fight on behalf of American workers.

Three: I am going to direct the secretary of commerce to identify every violation of trade agreements that a foreign country is currently using to harm our workers. I will then direct all appropriate agencies to use every tool under American and international law to end these abuses.

Four: I am going tell our NAFTA partners that I intend to immediately renegotiate the terms of that agreement to get a better deal for our workers. If we don’t get the deal we want, we will walk away.

Five: I am going to instruct my treasury secretary to label China a currency manipulator. Any country that devalues their currency in order to take unfair advantage of the United States will face tariffs to stop the cheating.

Six: I am going to instruct the U.S. trade representative to bring trade cases against China, both in this country and at the WTO. China’s unfair subsidy behavior is prohibited by the terms of its entrance to the WTO, and I intend to enforce those rules.

Seven: If China does not stop its illegal activities, including its theft of American trade secrets, I will use every lawful presidential power to remedy trade disputes, including the application of tariffs consistent with federal law.
