Donald Trump not eligible to be president

DHAKA: Hillary Clinton labeled her Republican opponent Donald Trump ‘divisive and dangerous’ and ‘unmoored’ on Thursday (May 19). 

She also said that Trump’s recent behavior shows he's not qualified to be president, CNN reports on Friday (May 20).

The Democratic presidential front-runner unleashed her sharpest attacks yet on Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee, in an exclusive interview with CNN's Chris Cuomo in Park Ridge, Illinois.

She pointed to Trump's attacks on British politicians, his willingness to speak with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, his call for the United States to back away from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and his assertion that more countries should have nuclear weapons, and said it ‘adds up to a very troubling picture.’

‘I know how hard this job is, and I know that we need steadiness as well as strength and smarts in it, and I have concluded he is not qualified to be president of the United States,’ Clinton said.

When asked whether Trump was qualified in April, Clinton told CNN's Jake Tapper, ‘Well, the voters will have to decide. I'm going to lay out my qualifications to be president.’

On Thursday, Clinton was particularly critical of Trump's proposal to ban Muslims from entering the United States, calling the idea ‘provocative’ and saying it sends a ‘message of disrespect’ to important majority-Muslim nations that are U.S. allies.

Clinton also addressed the disappearance of EgyptAir Flight 804, saying the disaster ‘shines a very bright light on the threat that we face from organized terror groups.’

‘It reinforces the need for American leadership-the kind of hard, steady leadership that only America can provide,’ Clinton said.
