During an interview broadcast on Saturday’s edition of MSNBC’s “AM Joy,” former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton stated that President Trump has been far worse than she thought he would be.
Host Joy Reid asked Hillary, “Has this been worse for you, the Trump era, than you expected it to be?”
Hillary answered, “It has been. I really had such deep doubts about his preparation, his temperament, his character, his experience, but he’s been even worse than I thought he would be. I thought, and I tried in my concession speech to make clear, that we should all give him the space to be the president for every American. That’s what we want from our presidents. Regardless of our partisan differences, we want to feel like the person in the Oval Office really cares about, and is looking after everybody. And that just hasn’t turned out to be the case, starting with the Inauguration, which is how I opened the book, talking about how excruciating it was to go, and what a missed opportunity for him. Because all he did was really reinforce the dark, divisive image of America that he’d been feeding to his supporters.”
