Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump ripped into rival candidate Hillary Clinton during a speech on Wednesday — and it has Clinton apologists scrambling to address the attack.
Trump accused Clinton of being “a world class liar” who personally profited from her tenure at the State Department. “She gets rich making you poor,” Trump said., while he cast himself as the White House candidate best positioned to address Americans’ economic interests.
“This election will decide whether we’re ruled by the people or the politicians,” Trump said during an address at his hotel in New York’s SoHo neighborhood. He made his arguments in a pointed yet measured tone, less loud and strident than has been typical in most previous campaign speeches.
The speech marked an opening salvo against Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, in the general election campaign.
“Hillary Clinton may be the most corrupt person ever to seek the presidency,” Trump said.
Some of Trump’s charges come from Paul Schweizer’s tell-all book, which has been criticized by Clinton supporters of having not enough evidence to prove without a doubt that the business dealings by foreign interests involving the Clinton Foundation influenced favorable decisions by Clinton when she was secretary of state.
The Republican candidate argued that Clinton’s opposition to a massive Asia-Pacific trade pact was an example of her political opportunism, noting that she had worked on the agreement while at the State Department and has previously backed free trade accords. And he took aim at her immigration policies, saying her call for providing those in the U.S. illegally with a path to citizenship amounted to “mass amnesty.”
Trump’s remarks came one day after Clinton launched her own blistering attacks on her White House rival. She moved to undercut Trump’s argument that his business record would help him create jobs as president, arguing instead that he had been “reckless” with his companies and “shouldn’t have his hands on our economy.”
Trump also tried to turn Clinton’s strengths into negatives. He spent much of his speech trying to undercut her foreign policy record, highlighting her early support of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, which she now says was a mistake, and linking the policies she promoted at the State Department to the rise of the Islamic State terror group.
“The Hillary Clinton foreign policy has cost America thousands of lives and trillions of dollars and trillions of dollars and unleashed ISIS across the world,” Trump said.
Trump’s speech came on the heels of his firing Monday of campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, a controversial figure who was seen as an impediment to efforts to build out a more robust campaign organization.
Trump allies cast Lewandowski’s firing this week as the start of a new phase for the campaign. Paul Manafort, the campaign chairman and Lewandowski’s internal rival, signaled on a conference call with aides that a rapid staffing expansion would be coming soon.
Tennessee Republican Sen. Bob Corker, who has been seen as a potential vice presidential pick, said he was “pretty excited” to learn of the changes.
“I think that what appears to be occurring over the last 24 hours is a movement in a direction that I think could be very, very positive,” Corker said.

ILLINOIS BOB says
Hillary speaking right now in Raleigh NC, and the typical Hillary rhetoric is everything for everybody, and the government will provide it. The national debt in theory grew another $10 TRILLION if all her rhetoric was executed… it is not possible to be all things to all people – The communist tried that line over the century plus and it has failed 100% of the time… but the lemmings are cheering for Hillary right now because they have drank the cool-aid.
Dwayne says
If elected, the first thing Hillary will need to do is establish another cabinet position with a large staff to oversee all of her promises; It will take a full time staff working around the clock to see her promises are kept and funded.
Lets see; jobs for everyone ( with 40 million Americans out of work I doubt she can make it happen.) Amnesty for the illegals (another 10 million immigrants to get America jobs), Training for anyone who needs it in order to get a job (all the kids graduating from college and none are qualified, according to Obama, to take the important jobs ) and the Obama administration keeps increasing work visas numbers to fill American jobs! .
Hillary says she will see that the minors she plans on putting out of work get retraining so they will not be left without a job! I have to wonder where they will get the jobs Hillary promises; we have 40 million Americans out of work now – does she have a magic and? Does tis mean the miners will be treated like “refugees” as they loose their jobs our government will retrain them and move them to another area? The miners give up their home, leave tier communities; communities where they grew up, their families are, friends and relatives remain? Hillary’s family values are showing and it AINT PRETTY AT ALL! In the Hillary world – Americans getting screwed is the code she lives to enjoy.
Most likely though, as she has shown in her past, there is 180 degree difference in what she says and what she does.
Hillary says she has always fought for women’s and kids rights and needs. HOWEVER – take time to look at her six years as a U.S. Senator and the bill she submitted; ONE BILL in SIX YEARS that has anything at all to do with kids and women’s needs! If she fought the battle she did it someplace outside of Congress and if she did she failed as there is nothing that can be credited to her “alleged” fight but her own comments! Her record does not support her brags!
In short; if she is elected we will see her comments go out the window and she will just carry on Obama’s agenda as she has said she will do. Her P-poor judgement has got people killed and set the world up fir ISIS and the terrorists mess we see the world falling into. Her lack of judgment has resulted in hundreds and thousands of emails many with significant sensitive America information being dumped almost n the OPEN MARKET! Chances are, some of these had a direct relation to the attack at Benghazi and certainly ended up in the hands of Obama’s Junior Varsity team of terrorists!

Hillary Clinton will be the end of this great country that I fought for in two wars. She lies, cheats and accepted her cheating husband . Billy boy was screwing every woman who he got his dirty hands on before he was president, while he was president and after he was president. This is a sorry couple who should never get into the whitehouse again. Hillary should be behind bars, but Obama will protect her. Obama said she did nothing wrong well before the FBI is finished their investigation. Covering his butt when he gives her a free pass.
kiburt says
Hillary is also a THIEF! Don’t forget the $200,000.00 worth of silverware she packed that said “White House Silver” along with Abraham Lincoln’s desk. It takes a real dumb-ass to ignore the arrogance of this woman.

Dwayne says
If you followed yesterdays reruns of both the Trump and the Hillary speeches you may have noticed that Trumps comments regarding Hillary’s lies were not specifically denied by Hillary. She only said that Trump lies; she did not deny the things Trump included in his speech. And boy, Trump is correct – Hillary has a terrible problem when it comes to being truthful and trustworthy!
Trumps comments regarding Clintons “running and dodging bullets should have included the full story. When Hillary made the statements she and her daughter had to run and dodge bullets she also said she had been sent there because it was considered to dangerous for Bill to go! Why would she have taken her daughter with her is that was true? That, along with her daughter also saying they were dodging bullets really makes me wonder how ANY mother would take their daughter into a place that the father would find to dangerous for him to go into, and, why would any mother have her daughter lie about something like dodging bullets?
After the flight crews of the two aircraft that took Hillary and her daughter into the area testified there was no guns being fired, there were no bullets flying overhead and neither Hillary or her daughter had to run at any time Hillary finally – admitted – the story was false. She never made further comments about her and her daughter having to go there instead of Bill as it was considered to dangerous for him to go!
Hillary claims she fights for the rights and benefits of kids; two points: (1) she had her daughter lie for her, and, (2) look at her record as a senator; in the six years she was there she only sponsored or co-sponsored ONE BILL that had anything to do with women’s and kids; ONE BILL!
The most talk about such rights is her bragging claiming she has done all these things! If there is ANY TRUTH to it all then we have to accept the fact she has failed ; AGAIN!
Big TED says
Hillary lies so much she wouldn’t know the truth if it hit her in the face.
kiburt says
Dwayne,
Well stated.
Bruce says
The truest statement to date. Hillary is an outright liar and crook.
We most assuredly do not need the likes of her running this country.
And of course, Obama won’t release the Emails for over 75 years
and will not indict Hillary for her crimes. That is the most hypocritical
way to run a country. If the emails were legit and done correctly, which
we are sure they are not, then they should be released, either by the
Democratic Party, an Act of Congress or by the people that have gotten
access to them by whatever means. This would include the System Administrator
who ran the Server and most likely, either Russia or China — somebody has them.
Dwayne says
The world has come to know Hillary Clinton as a liar and untrustworthy!
It is amazing though how many people, even after she admits to her lies and wrong doings, still believe the accusations are false and generated by the GOP and others who dislike her.
You may have noticed as she responded to Trumps comments yesterday she only said he lied; she did not deny any of the things Trump accused her of though. She did not have to do so as she has already admitted to them!
Donald L Girton says
Hillary has no idea what’s coming her way. Trump will not let up. He will attack…..attack again and then attack yet again. She will have no way to respond as quick as he will be attacking. This is what the republicans have been waiting for for far too long. The Clintons will not sit back accepting this. This is about ready to get far worse. Hold on……this will be one wild ride! November can not come fast enough!
Donald L Girton says
Trump has only just started. Hillary has no idea what’s about ready to start. He’ll attack……..attack again and attack yet again. This will be relentless……non stop. She’ll have no way to respond as quick as he attacks. Hold on this is really going to get wild. The Clintons are finally getting attacked like never before.

Arthur Hartsock says
It’s not only that Ms. Clinton is corrupt. But she’s so brazen about it. Doesn’t care if we know. She’s in no fear of being held to account. I’d compare her to Al Capone when he was king of Chicago during prohibition. He had no fear of the police, because he had bought most of them. And he knew he had the guns/muscle to fight his gang opponents. We need a new Elliot Ness to clean up the Justice Department and FBI. Till then Hillary will keep thumbing her nose at America.
Dwayne says
She can be brazen and have no fear; she and Obama have already worked the things out so the efforts of the FBI, Justice Department and Intelligence agency will be all for noting. Even if the FBI turns in a recommendation for ANY DEGEREE of punishment Obamas Attorney General will most likely reject it. AND, even if the A.G. moves to prosecute Obama will give Hillary an Immediate Presidential Pardon and everything will just go away.
ANYONE who thinks Obama will not clear the way for her is just utterly stupid!
Dwayne says
Hillary and Obama have made a pact; if she is charged with the crime Obama will immediately issue a Presidential Proclamations clearing her of all wrong doing and she will be forgiven – – AGAIN!
She has said she will never be charged; Obama has said she will never be charged.
Obama says there is nothing to the charges; he also says he has not discussed it with the FBI or the Justice Department; makes me wonder how he knows one way or the other whether she may or may not be charged!
Obama got away with having one Corrupt Attorney General and he seems to think he can get away with it again; and when listening to the A.G. he may. She has already been proven to support Obama’s cover ups!
John says
Hopefully the FBI will bring out charges against the attorner general, Obo and Hillary all at the same time so one cannot let the other one off for they will all be put into jail by the people.

Mark my words if, I say if Hillary and or Bill along with obama the clintons will show they have no money left….i am just wondering if Hillary has her name on the suicide list because she has cost so many people big money donors so much money for betting on a dead horse…..No one likes to lose money especially millionaires and or billionaires……. some one is going to have to pay the price if the FAVORS are not handed out in return for the no strings attached corrupt money?????????????????????????

Well, Trump could not have D’OweBama prosecuted for pardoning anyone. It’s a named presidential power in the Supreme Law of the Land. He could, OTOH, have him prosecuted for fraud, perjury(lying under his oath of office), personation, and treason, however. But i don’t think he should stop there; there are quite a few un-indicted criminals left from the Shrub’s maladministration that need prison, too, you know…and fines, YUUUGE fines, like the corporate war-profiteers in Iraq and Afghanistan who “lost” billions and did no or shoddy work for which Americans paid.
Ayathuray Rajasingam says
Before levelling charges on Hillary Clinton, he should have realized how he declared bankruptcy thrice or more. In a way this also amounted some type of lies. Is Donald Trump not enriching himself by declaring bankruptcy.
Moreover, Hillary Clinton has justified the American people by waging war on the Islamic terrorists. It is not bad judgment, but justification by America and the whole world. Otherwise terrorism would have crept into America. Had there been no invasion on Iraq and Libya, those two countries would have seen another Syria in those regions. She did everything in the best interests of America and the rest of the world. We should not forget that Hillary Clinton is aware of the consequences of war. Just imagine the attack on Twin Tower, Boston bombings, terror in Orlando, terror in Paris, terror in Brussels Airport, etc. The lone wolf terror is a cancer. Had Trump been in Hillary Clinton’s position, he would have placed America in a dangerous position. These terrorist countries do not have a constitution on democratic principles. But in America, the civil liberties is the live-wire of its constitution. The same can be said of other western democratic countries. In my view, Donald Trump is playing into the hands of terrorists. Even on economic aspect, Donald Trump would place in a dangerous position and there would be economic recession in the country. dem would have done he wo

Ayathuray,
You are obviously devoid of a single working brain cell in your entire body.
You are the first of anyone to advocate bringing in Muslim Terrorists by the hoards as Obama is doing and has been doing for 7-1/2 years, totaling over Three Million Three Hundred Thousand. Under a Hillary POTUS, he & she will continue to bring in many more Millions of them.
Obama is 10X smarter than all the Washington Bums combined. He is a one man Allah who is completely destroying America without firing one shot. He is, as you probably are, a Muslim who gravitates toward world dominance of one power and that is Muslim ISLAMIC power which combines religion and government control of all who live on this planet.
You, like others have turned a BLIND-EYE to what has happened in America and the Middle East.
Bush lied to America and the rest of the world. His WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION bullshit led to the destabilization of the Middle East that Hillary strongly vote in favor of WAR. Trump firmly objected and declared it a massive mistake that would create unintentional consequences beyond the scope of our imaginations.
Trump is our only and LAST chance to save what is left of America.
As a 5 year veteran of the United States Marine Corps. and a 78 year old American Citizen, I want my children, my grandchildren, my great grandchildren along with those who may follow to live in the same great country that I have had the pleasure to living in. So don’t be fooled by Islamic Muslim writings attempting to sway your thinking about Hillary and Obama as they are the two most detrimental evils of the world.

While I detest Hillary, I also have NO use for Trump, as they BOTH ARE LIARS.
Trump calls Hillary a world class liar, which she definitely is. However, in the Trump ‘s way of taking heat of himself, he accuses her, but does not mention that he is in a dead heat with her. (Both are almost as bad as Obama.)
When Trump , the LIAR, decided he wanted to run for president, he ‘COPPIED’ what Ted Cruz had proposed, getting rid of all illegal immigrants.
Only difference was, Trump the Liar zeroed in only on the Mexicans, and forgot his German relatives that are here, like his parents were, illegally.
Being that neither of Trumps parents were American, as they were WETBACKS, makes Trump a dull anchor baby.
And Trump the LIAR tries to pass as an American, while calling American Citizen Ted Cruz, son of American parents, a non American. Is that not lying to the fullest?
Then, Trump the liar tries to discredit Ted’s wife, who has a decent job in a bank, while Trump the liar BOUGHT his wife on an overseas BORDELLO.
Now, Trump is twice accused of Child rape.
On the other hand, Hillary is married to a confirmed RAPIST, of which both are so proud of.
Both Hillary and Trump are corrupt, both are perverts, and both belong in prison.
A REAL SAD TIME FOR AMERICA.
Constitutionalist says
Pancho-
You really should bother to fact-check at least a trifle before you make unsubstantiated comments.
Trumps dad was born in America, making Trumps dad an American Citizen. Trumps mom came from SCOTLAND, and although she was not a citizen when she came here, she became one FOUR YEARS before Donald J was born. These two FACTS make Donald Trump a “natural born” American, and fully qualify him for the presidency – since he’s also older than 35 and been much longer resident in the United States than required.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_J._Trump
“Trump was born on June 14, 1946, in Jamaica Estates, Queens, a neighborhood in New York City.[3][4] He was the fourth of five children of Mary (née MacLeod; 1912–2000), a homemaker and philanthropist,[5] and Fred Trump (1905–1999), a real estate developer.
His mother, Mary, was born in Tong on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland.[6] She emigrated to the United States in 1930 at age 18, and worked as a domestic servant for over four years.[7][8] She met Fred Trump and they were married in 1936, settling in Jamaica Estates, Queens. Fred Trump eventually became one of the city’s biggest real estate developers.[5][9] Mary Anne Trump was naturalized as a U.S. citizen on March 10, 1942.[7][8]
His father, Fred, was born in Woodhaven, Queens, to Frederick and Elizabeth (née Christ) Trump, immigrants from Kallstadt, Germany.[10] Frederick worked as a successful restaurateur during the Klondike Gold Rush.[11][nb 1] In a 1976 New York Times biographical profile,[13] and again in his 1987 book, The Art of the Deal, Trump incorrectly stated that his grandfather Frederick Trump was of Swedish origin,[14][15] an assertion that his father Fred Trump made for many years ostensibly because “he had a lot of Jewish tenants and it wasn’t a good thing to be German”, according to a nephew identified as a family historian by The New York Times.[16] Donald Trump later acknowledged his German ancestry and served as grand marshal of the 1999 German-American Steuben Parade in New York City.[9]”
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Seriously, dude – MINIMAL effin’ fact-checking, PLEASE! Took me less than 30 sec. to find this rebuttal; you’re WAY too easy, chum!
Cruz, OTOH, was born in Canada to two naturalized CANADIAN citizens, which makes him a natural-born CANADIAN; he also SEALED any records which would say whether or not he’s a US Citizen – who else did that? Oh, yeah, D’OweBama. Cruz can NEVER be a lawful president(neither can Rubio), for neither meet the “natural born” requirement in Article 2. One MUST have TWO(count ’em, 2) citizen-parents to be natural born. “But,” you say, “Cruz’s MOM was a US Citizen.” Yeah, “was” being the operative term. Non-canadians can only remain in Canada a MAXIMUM of 30 days past the expiration of their travel visas; Lyin’ Ted’s parents were there FOUR YEARS before liddle-biddy-baby showed up, AND they’d applied for and received Canadian health benefits AND voted in Canadian elections – something ONLY Canadian citizens can do. Don’t be an idiot.
Not to mention the fact that he’s been a sycophant/toadie/lickspittle to the Bush maladminstrations(both of ’em), making him fully on-board with the NWO/OWG agenda that HW pushed at the UN when he was prez. Oh, yeah, and his WIFE, working for Goldman Sachs and the CFR, writing papers in praise of dissolving America’s borders ENTIRELY! Wotta freakin’ loser – or is that hoser?
No, Cruz will never be president; he’ll be lucky if his next campaign for Congress results in a win – he’ll likely lose, and go back to shining the Bush family’s shoes or something equally toadying.
It was only a matter of time before the DC Madam’s attorney’s phone records revealed how often sleazy Ted was using their services and pretending to be a Christian at the same time, too – or more investigation into Cruz’s dad’s ties to Lee Harvey Oswald and the CIA further ruined him.
In fact, since Cruz KNEW long before his presidential bid that he was NOT QUALIFIED to BE president, he should be arrested for fraudulently obtaining campaign donations – AND sued, to have every penny returned!

And now,,, the Supreme Court has just handed obummer his ass by not confirming his directives to stop the deportation of illegals.
So the ass hole immediately gets on TV and blames Trump, Ryan, and every Republican in the country.
Thru all his bull shit rhetoric, during his rant, it was obvious that all he was concerned about was the fact that the hildabeast just lost four million potential votes.

Why has no one charged HITLERY with purgury , ie.. lieing to the public?
Brian Williams got caught in at least two lies and he was fired!.
This individual is a walking lieing machine. says one thing and denies it and says another lie. I watched an excerp where she lies and lies again and agian and again and again, non stop !.
And there are dunb people willing to support this vagina.!
I have worked for several women before who where very good bosses. Why not get behind a decent women and for that one, NOT THIS ONE!>

Trump must not own a mirror. If he does and uses it, he either has a vision problem or looks trough distorted glasses for what comes out of his mouth has no base on reality. What you see and what you get instead from Trump;, is blatant venom attacks without a base of fact or reality.
Bruce says
I’ve been saying the same thing from the first time I heard she was running. If qualifications for President include lying cheating stealing and backstabbing Hilary will win in a landslide

Bruce if there was a contest for the most evil wicked b@&ch in the universe, Hitlery Killery ROTTON Ayatollaho Khoemeni Clinton would flat outright win that contest, it will be the one contest where all of her opponents will cast their votes for her, and she would have to rig & fix
that election at all, she would win that contest year after year. Where I live at in Mexizona in the Loser City Tucson, Mexizona metro area
pothole dodging and tailgating are sports events & sports. Year after year Loser City Tucson always wins not only the Pothole contest which
Philadelphia used to win that one, but also the crack seal title as well, Tucson & Pima County holds the title of Crack seal capital of North America, Buffalo, NY my birthplace and Erie County where Buffalo is at used to be the crack seal capital of North America. Loser city Tucson is striving to become the poorest city in the nation. I call Tucson Loser City is because that city drove away events that brought money to the city, and also drove many employers such as IBM, Lockheed-Martin and others away.

The Bucher of Benghazi is the most highest form of advanced evil to set foot in the Whitehouse. She will take Barry’s evil into the stratosphere. She has been saved for the so-called grand finally… And this needs not to become history for the sake of our human world and not just America..

My take from all the comments is WE ARE A DIVIDED NATION once again. If we refuse to be on the same page we’ll end up with the Wicked Witch of the West who is a duplicate of the FRAUD. How’s that working for us? GOD please heal this nation.
Ginger says
Lewandowski should be appreciated for helping Trump during the primaries, but I think the Trump campaign needed to move in a different direction for the general campaign, and it sounds like they are now on the right track. Stay focused on Hillary’s negatives, stay focused on the economy, and stay focused on terrorism. Good job Trump! Hopefully, if the Republicans will present a united force, Hillary can be defeated, if not indicted.

Quite frankly, they’re both liars.
William says
This country is at a turning point. Read Alice in Wonderland and the Twin Towers. This book is not as much about the Twin Towers as it is the DNA of Politics and the Crooks in Washington. Hillary should choose John Kerry as her running mate. Who has lied more obviously than Kerry. When he was running for President; he could not talk twenty minutes with the most ignorant person knowing he spoke a lie. The who became Secretary of State? Kerry! Just like Henry Kissinger. So there you have it: the Tripplets, Henry, John and Hilary! If someone lies to your back, is any different than lying to your face? Well, get ready. As already said, if her lips are moving, expect a lie.
Furthermore: most every speech she gives is a slam against Trump. Does this help you decide that she can perform well as President? What is she going to do as Prsident? I’d she going to ask Obama or the Democratic Party what she should do or even Bill? I want to close the country until we straighten out our mess and make it safe for our visitors. Hillary and Obama want to flood our country with more people we can not find jobs for and make it more difficult for the unemployed we have already. We need to put a financial clamp on the spending of all government not just the President. Responsibility and accountability has gone out the window. We are teaching out children that all we need to do is print more money and it will be alright. Obama says that our children that graduate college are not prepared to take on jobs in government; why not? Think we should do a little investigation on why we graduate unqualified people? If Obama is right, do ya think?
The Texan says
Come on people, give Hillary a break. She talks a lot. She uses a million words a day. She can’t be expected to remember which ones were true and which ones were not. After all, she has had a problem with short term memory loss after her bout of dizzy spells. But then lying may just be chronic condition for her. She almost certainly told the truth when she said that she would shut down the coal industry and put everyone out of work. No doubt she has allowed bits of truth to creep in at other times as well. But it is a bit difficult to discern the truth among all the lies. one thing is for certain; she would devastate the American economy.
Walt says
Lying Crooked Hillary Clinton is the most corrupt person that has ever run for the POTUS. Hillary for jail in 2016. Vote for Donald J Trump, he is for the people of the USA. He will bring our jobs and businesses back to the country. He will make Fair Trade Agreements and control the value of the dollar. He will build a wall between Mexico & US for border controls. He will lower your taxes, get rid of Obama Care and provide a better Health Care System, build up the Military to be the strongest in the World, kick the Hell out of ISIS, get rid of common core, keep the 2nd Amendment, the Right to Bear Arms, keep our Social Security System and Make America Great Again.
