Hillary Clinton on Monday tore into Donald Trump during an interview with CBS News’ Charlie Rose, charging that Trump has “no self-discipline, no self-control, no sense of history, no understanding of the limits of the kind of power that any president should impose upon himself.”
She noted that he’s called for reinstating waterboarding and would “order the American military to commit war crimes.”
“What he has laid out is the most dangerous, reckless approach to being president than I think we’ve ever seen,” Clinton said.
Rose asked if Clinton thinks Trump is “the most dangerous man ever to run.”
“I believe that,” she responded.
Clinton said that Trump’s message is playing off of Americans fears.
“There is a lot of fear in our country, and when Americans are worried they’re looking for answers. He’s providing simplistic, easy answers,” she said. “‘Let’s make America great again,’ which means basically, ‘We’ll go back to the way it was, and you, you out there who ever you are, you’re going to have a better shot.’ And it is a unfair and wrong-headed view of history.”
