Not that the liberal media headlines and articles did Trump any favors (they shouldn’t since they should be a neutral press, by definition and by ethics), but Hillary Clinton blasted Donald Trump for his visit to Mexico, which pre-empted her from doing much about it except to criticize and not offer alternatives. Notice how ABC News even pointed out that Hillary Clinton doesn’t go out in public often:
Hillary Clinton today used her first public event in nearly a week to bash Donald Trump for “dropping in” on Mexico, saying building relationships takes more than “a photo op.”
Here’s what Hillary had to say (per ABC News) about Trump’s visit, which was criticism of his past remarks and calling for diplomacy due to her experience as the secretary of state (while ignoring her secret e-mails server while at the State Department):
“You don’t build a coalition by insulting our friends or acting like a loose cannon. You do it by putting in the slow, hard work of building relationships,” the Democratic presidential nominee and former secretary of state said during remarks at the American Legion’s national convention in Cincinnati, referring to her Republican opponent.
“Getting countries working together was my job every day as your secretary of state. It’s more than a photo op. It takes consistency and reliability. Actually, it’s just like building personal relationships. People have got to know that they can count on you, that you won’t say one thing one day and something totally different the next.
“And,” she added, “it certainly takes more than trying to make up for a year of insults and insinuations by dropping in on our neighbors for a few hours and then flying home again. That is not how it works.”
