Hillary Clinton called Trump dumb and his administration dumber in an op ed piece for the NY Times here.
The Trump administration wanted to reply, but no one in the administration reads the Times.
This was the opening line:
It’s not the hypocrisy that bothers me; it’s the stupidity.
Then it got worse.
Firing hundreds of federal workers charged with protecting our nation’s nuclear weapons is also dumb. So is shutting down efforts to fight pandemics just as a deadly Ebola outbreak is spreading in Africa. It makes no sense to purge talented generals, diplomats and spies at a time when rivals like China and Russia are trying to expand their global reach.
And then this:
The Trump approach is dumb power. Instead of a strong America using all our strengths to lead the world and confront our adversaries, Mr. Trump’s America will be increasingly blind and blundering, feeble and friendless.
And this:
Does anyone really think deleting tributes to the Tuskegee Airmen makes us more safe? The Trump Pentagon purged images of the plane that dropped the atomic bomb that ended World War II because its name is the Enola Gay. Dumb
(The answer is yes. The idiots Trump appointed to run the Pentagon think its more important to remove pictures of the Enola Gay then keep tight security on impending military action)
All of this is both dumb and dangerous. And I haven’t even gotten to the damage Mr. Trump is doing by cozying up to dictators like Russia’s Vladimir Putin, blowing up our alliances — force multipliers that extend our reach and share our burdens — and trashing our moral influence by undermining the rule of law at home.
And this gem:
Diplomacy is cost-effective, especially compared with military action. Preventing wars is cheaper than fighting them. Mr. Trump’s own former secretary of defense Jim Mattis, a retired Marine Corps four-star general, told Congress, “If you don’t fund the State Department fully, then I need to buy more ammunition.”
And she ended with this:
If America is ruled like a banana republic, with flagrant corruption and a leader who puts himself above the law, we lose that argument. We also lose the qualities that have made America exceptional and indispensable.

She should have listened to her husband and campaigned in the rust belt states. There’s the stupidity
I’m all in favor of a big tent for fighting fascism but I never need to hear from Hillary again. Her terrible campaign in 2016 is the main reason we have Trump now. It would be nice to hear from Obama though about more than his favorite music of the year, he is the single most respected living American president like it or not, and reaches a different audience than any other. His silence is deafening.
Dumb and Dumber sounds like the prosecutor combo from the Corey Smith trial.
Rumpole, you should do a post about the joint defense in DOM'a trial and how you should only trust actual defense lawyers.
Oh no Hilary Clinton and the New York Times wrote a hit piece and surprise - they don't like Trump. How will he ever recover? Democrats out here thinking their 2015 style bullying and name calling is still effective. Democrats no longer control the culture, nobody listens to liberal media anymore. I knew the Democrats were down bad but going to Hilary Clinton's is lower than I would've thought they could go. I guess this is what happens when people like Jasmine Crockett are the face of the party. LMAO, what a joke.
Can we waive the 22nd Amendment so Hillary and Trump can have a rematch in 2028? Hillary with Kamala as vp should be a winning ticket.
More specifically, Wisconsin. Bill noticed it slipping away one week before the election. They ignored him. And calling every lower income white voter in the rust belt “deplorable” was not exactly taking a page out of Harry Truman’s 1948 playbook.
Shame more shame
I have a question to all the readers who voted for Trump? Are you regretting voting for him yet? Or are you all pleased with the way he and his administration are handling things? Including Pam Bondi who told a reporter to go back to your country? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEDigCPSi0k
when will clinton be told that trump's doj is coming for her and a lot of others and she should keep her ugly ass in hiding and shut the f up.!
You may not like her 2016 campaign, you may decry it as having been lazy, but she was spot on in her analysis of what is going on here in 2025.
It’s about time someone said it
Sounds like a rich bitter loser.
10:48-- RE: Democrats out here thinking their 2015 style bullying and name calling is still effective. How about Republicans and their name calling starting with Trump mocking a disabled reporter???? That is okay I guess, right?
At 10:28: are you serious? You’re spouting this as a racist (among other things) white guy whose party wanted, as the face of justice, MATT GAETZ?????? Talk about a face — and warped morality — even a mother couldn’t love. And in terms of derangement syndrome, tRump cannot stop blithering about Biden, much less about Hillary to this day.
Lolololo such a looser comment ..
I’m not posting unsubstantiated complaints against a judge. Anyone can file nonsense. Let me know if and when your bs is found to be substantiated and then I’ll run something. Until then you have your blog to run and I have mine.
