Hillary Clinton’s latest critique of Donald Trump is yet another attempt to distract the public from her own checkered past with classified information.
In a recent essay for The New York Times, Clinton has made headlines by claiming national security concerns regarding the Trump administration's handling of classified materials.
However, this comes from a woman who infamously operated an unsecured email server out of her bathroom, exposing sensitive information to foreign adversaries.
In her bitterness, Clinton overlooks her own history of mishandling classified information.
She continues to push narratives that paint Trump as reckless while she conveniently ignores the numerous lapses in her judgment during her time as Secretary of State.
The irony is nearly comical: a politician whose actions resulted in the deaths of Americans in Benghazi now attempts to position herself as an authority on national security protocols.
In her critique, Clinton expressed outrage over what she describes as Trump’s “dumb power,” contrasting it with her husband’s alleged “smart power” during his presidency.
What she fails to address is how that so-called smart power failed to secure our nation’s interests, particularly in the Middle East, ultimately leaving a legacy of chaos.
Let’s not forget that during her tenure, the policies and decisions made under her watch, including the disastrous handling of the Arab Spring, have had long-lasting impacts, destabilizing entire regions and contributing to the migrant crisis now plaguing Europe and America.
Clinton also seized the opportunity to criticize Trump’s government cuts, including those aimed at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
However, many Americans support these reductions, recognizing that USAID has often strayed from its intended mission and has been plagued by questionable spending.
Truthfully, Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s comments following a recent federal court ruling illustrate that there is a concerted effort to refocus our foreign aid to genuinely benefit American interests rather than serving bureaucratic bloat.
Trump's approach, though criticized by opponents, emphasizes a strong America that prioritizes its security and citizens over foreign expenditures that yield little in return.
Hillary's latest display of hypocrisy serves only to remind us how out of touch she is with the issues that matter to everyday Americans.
As she continues to attack Trump’s administration while glossing over her own failures, it’s clear that she’s more interested in reclaiming her political relevance than in contributing to a constructive dialogue on national security.
The American public deserves leaders who focus on real solutions, not on self-serving narratives that only seek to deflect blame when the stakes are as high as they are today.
