Hillary Clinton Says 'What Trump Really Wants' is to 'Kill His Opposition'

Hillary Clinton has been a sore loser ever since she was beaten by Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election.

She has made up all kinds of things to deal with her bitterness. Constantly repeating the conspiracy theory that Trump colluded with Russia to win the White House is at the top of the list.

But it's still a long list. And she's adding to it.

Fox News reports, "Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton suggested on a podcast Friday that her old rival, former President Trump, would be happy to 'kill his opposition' if he's re-elected president." 

The story continued:

Clinton made those comments on the "Democracy Docket" podcast with host Marc Elias, a Democratic election lawyer who previously served as general counsel on her 2016 presidential campaign. In their conversation, Clinton said Trump models himself after Russian President Vladimir Putin and other dictators, calling the prospect of his return to the White House "very scary." 

"Trump was like, you know, just gaga over Putin because Putin does what Trump would like to do: Kill his opposition, imprison his opposition, drive journalists and others into exile, rule without any check or balance," Clinton said. 

"That’s what Trump really wants," she continued. "And so we have to be very conscious of how he sees the world because, in that world, he only sees strongmen leaders. He sees Putin, he sees Xi, he sees Kim Jong-un in North Korea. Those are the people he is modeling himself after, and we’ve been down this road in our, you know, world history. We sure don’t want to go down that again."

Fox News observed, "Since her defeat by Trump in the 2016 election, Clinton has repeatedly claimed that Trump does the bidding of Russia and that Putin interfered in the election to ensure her defeat."

"My view, having negotiated with Putin, and knowing one of the reasons he went after me is because he knew I would deal with him in an appropriate way, and Trump would basically do whatever he wanted, it’s really important to think about what could happen to our world with Trump back in the White House," Clinton said during Friday's podcast.

In coping with her 2016 loss, Hillary Clinton will be obsessed with the Trump-Russia conspiracy theory for the rest of her life.

So will her party.
