Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton lamented the Trump administration in an interview on Saturday, saying his presidency is worse than she expected it to be.
"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," Clinton told MSNBC's Joy Reid on "AM Joy."
thought and I tried in my concession speech to make clear that we should all give him the space to be 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," she continued.
"And that just hasn't turned out to be the case, starting with our 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 reinforce the dark, divisive image of America that he'd been feeding to his supporters," she said.

(12,626 posts)No I don't. But from reading the arguments made here this would fit right in.
Clinton should speak up loud and clear about just how deplorable the giant orange smurf is whenever she feels the urge.

(16,968 posts)...yet I agree with Hillary Clinton that there's a degree of astonishment at the awfulness of it all.
And frankly the media is still trying to get its act together on how to report on this. There appears to be a temptation to shape the narrative based on he speechified/he tweeted, and it veers into normalizing aberrant behavior.
It's difficult for anyone in the media to pull off describing anything that Trump does as "presidential." In I'm waiting for someone, anyone, to say, on camera, "Damn, I'm getting too old for this shit."
