Hillary and Bill Clinton blast Donald Trump, says he 'caused a diplomatic incident' during Mexico trip and 'damaged America'
Hillary Clinton and her
husband Bill Clinton have blasted Donald Trump over his visit to Mexico last
Wednesday.
Donald Trump had talked
about building a wall between Mexico and USA to curb illegal immigration and
drug trafficking into the U.S but didn't bring up the topic while he visited
Mexico's president Enrique Peña Nieto and Hillary and Bill Clinton have
now slammed Donald Trump for 'creating a diplomatic incident.
'He didn't raise it, so
he did choke. He didn't know how to even communicate effectively with a head of
state. And I think that's a pretty clear outcome from that trip,' Hillary
Clinton told ABC on Monday. He couldn't even bring himself to tell the
president of Mexico one of his very few policy demands.'
And Bill Clinton, who
was campaigning for his wife in Detroit, also blasted Trump - particularly his
rally in Arizona immediately after the Mexico visit, in which he once again
promised to make Mexico pay for the wall resulting in cheers from the crowd.
'I've had that job,' Bill, former US president
said, according to ABC. (Trump's visit) damaged America and every serious
country in the world. You cannot be the leader of a country, go down and be
nice to people and then come home and dump on them for your own political
benefit.'
There are about
11million undocumented immigrants living in the US and when Trump was asked if
he plans to repatriate all of them or let some stay in the country, Trump
replied;
'It could be, but what’s going to happen is if
you’re going to be a citizen, you’re going to leave and you're going to have to
come back. And if they don't want to become citizens, he said, 'they have to
make a determination what happens when the border is secure. So you’re open to
them staying here undocumented?' Trump was asked. I’m going to make a
decision, or somebody will,' he replied, 'Whether it’s me or somebody else
because by that time we’ll have a secure border, we’ll have a wall.'
Senator Tim Kaine, who
was also taking part in the ABC interview with Hillary Clinton, also criticized
the Republican candidate.
He said: 'If you're
gonna cave when you're with an ally, and Mexico's an ally, what are you gonna
do when you're with an adversary?'
'You shouldn't leave the
safety of America and our diplomacy in the hands of a rookie who, on his one
visit with a foreign leader, has already created kind of an international
embarrassment for us,' he continued.
