Hillary Clinton: Trump Has ‘No Credibility Left’; Accuses Him For Fomenting Assault On US Capitol

Hillary Clinton, a former US secretary of state and the Democratic Party’s nominee for president in 2016, claimed that supporters of Donald Trump could need to undergo “deprogramming” similar to how cult members undergo this process. Trump, she claimed, had “no credibility left by any measure” and was responsible for fomenting the deadly assault on the US Capitol on January 6, 2023.

“He’s only in it for himself. He’s now defending himself in civil actions and criminal actions. And when do they break with him? Because at some point maybe there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members. But something needs to happen,” she told media.

91 criminal charges against Trump

91 criminal charges, including 17 for attempting to sway the election, as well as multiple civil lawsuits are being brought against Trump. Joe Biden defeated Trump in the 2020 presidential race, but Trump won’t concede loss. Additionally, he stands a good possibility of securing the Republican presidential nomination in 2024.

Hillary said that Trump is “an authoritarian populist who really has a grip on the emotional [and] psychological needs and desires of a portion of the population and the base of the Republican party, for whatever combination of reasons.”

Hillary Clinton comments on Trump’s followers

She added that Trump’s followers “see in him someone who speaks for them and they are determined they will continue to vote for him, attend his rallies and wear his merchandise, because for whatever reason he and his very negative, nasty form of politics resonates with them.”

The 75-year-old cited some possible reasons for their attraction to Trump, such as “Maybe they don’t like migrants. Maybe they don’t like gay people or Black people or the woman who got the promotion at work they didn’t get.”

Trump’s slogan of “Make America great again”

She also said that Trump’s slogan of “Make America great again” was “a bid for nostalgia, to return to a place where people could be in charge of their lives, feel empowered, say what they want and insult whoever came in their way.”

The former U.S. Secretary of States compared Trump’s movement to “a cult and somebody has to break it, break that momentum. And that’s why I believe Joe Biden will defeat them and hopefully then that will be the end and the fever will break.”
