Donald Trump is “unqualified and temperamentally unfit” to be the next US president, his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton has said as she attacked the controversial presumptive Republican White House nominee during her and President Barack Obama’s first joint campaign appearance.
“Donald Trump is simply unqualified and temperamentally unfit to be our President and commander-in-chief,” Clinton said during a campaign rally in Charlotte in North Carolina. With Obama joining her on the stage for the first time, Clinton described what a presidency is all about.
“In America we put common interest before self-interest. We stand together because we know we are stronger together. That is the kind of President Barack Obama has been. He has made difficult, even unpopular decisions for the good of our country,” she said.
“I’ve sat with him in the Situation Room and seen him make the hardest choices a President faces. He does it with steady, principled leadership. He’s a statesman, leading not just our country, but the entire world. It was his vision...,” Clinton said.
“It was his vision and diplomacy that secured a historic global agreement on climate change, put a lid on Iran’s nuclear programme, opened up Cuba, and rallied the world to curb the spread of nuclear weapons,” she said.
Trump vs Clinton race is like imaginary past vs future: Obama
Washington: US President Barack Obama has thrown his weight behind Hillary Clinton as he likened the presidential race between the former secretary of State and real estate tycoon Donald Trump to a choice between “future and imaginary past”. “This is a choice between whether we are going to cling to some imaginary past or whether we’re going to reach for the future,” Obama said.
