Hillary Clinton warns Trump ‘stupidity’ will leave US ‘feeble and friendless’

Hillary Clinton on Friday called the Trump administration’s approach to governing both dumb and dangerous in an essay excoriating the Signal chat scandal and the Elon Musk-led mission to slash the federal workforce, and concluding that Trump would make the US “feeble and friendless”.

The former secretary of state and Democratic presidential candidate wrote an op-ed for the New York Times that has been given the headline: “How much dumber will this get?” and opens: “It’s not the hypocrisy that bothers me; it’s the stupidity.”

Clinton starts with the Signal chat group scandal, when Donald Trump’s national security adviser, Mike Waltz, mistakenly added a top US journalist to a small group of government leaders on the encrypted but unclassified app and then the defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, proceeded to discuss intricate details of a forthcoming airstrike on Houthi militants in Yemen and report back to the group on the deadly results.

Perhaps she shouldn't have proudly orchestrated a desperate attempt to build trump up at the expense of an actual competitive candidate, then?
Go away, Clintons. You're a pestilence.

We know this. Go away Hillary.
- She gets under his skin, so if she could come from a place that wasn't self interest, she could be effective in criticizing him.
  
  Good point, but it also seems like anything gets under his skin, dude is a poster child for fragile ego.
- And take Nancy Pelosi with you.

Hillary Clinton can fuck off
- Yeah. I hate when experienced people write on a subject they've known and worked for decades.
  We should hate them because they were an imperfect candidate with a career of work and support only overshadowed by Saint Bernie, and expected America to not elect a felon.
  
  They were not imperfect... They didn't adapt to times. Election was won not because of past career of work but by something else they (and their expensive consultants) do not know how to handle
- Literally if it weren't for her and the DNC collusion in 2016 this could've been avoided entirely. Like it legitimately does come back to Sanders - he's very much a centrist at best and FAR from ideal, but could've at least greased the wheels a bit to loosen the overton window and pave the way for actual leftists.
  The DNC knows this and they wanted this. Fascism is preferable to them.

Punchlines aplenty:
... Much like Hillary Clinton.
... Much like the Democratic party.
Etc.

I wonder if she wishes she’d played fair with Bernie and given him a chance to win in 2016.
- People like Clinton live in a consequence free world. I doubt she cares. I wish she'd fuck off.

Leaving the US friendless isn't true, He is great friends with Putin!
- I doubt Putin even likes trump. I bet he’s just a useful idiot.
  
  Nobody who's knows Trump personally, likes Trump.
- Good thing Russia isn’t communist anymore. am I right? Capitalism won out in all its benevolent glory. Hooray for feudalism 2.0

The trump regime was designed to TANK the US economy so that stocks, businesses, and industries can be bought by billionaires at rock bottom prices.
All is going according to plan.

Can't wait to see it.

Yeah we know and it's on purpose. I'm just wondering what all these truck-nuts patriots are going to do when we are all out of freedom and power to brag about.
- The erosion of their own freedoms won’t bother them; so long as minorities have it slightly worse, they will be tickled pink.

When the worst person you know makes a good point.

"Look at what a bit mess I made! This sure sucks for all of you."

Surely an essay will save us!

Yeah probably, but what about her laugh?
