Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is criticizing President Donald Trump’s proposed budget cuts to international programs, saying “turning our backs on diplomacy won’t make our country safer.”

Throwing money at tyrants in the fashion of keeping crocodiles fed is not diplomacy.

“turning our backs on diplomacy won’t make our country safer.”

Handing out billions of dollars to shady unaccountable persons in other countries who turn around and give half of it to the Clinton Foundation isn't "diplomacy". At least not any more it isn't.

Is she really going to run for president again, at age 73, in 2020?? Are Democrats going to grease the skids again for her to waltz to the nomination again??? Don’t even Democrats want to look for new faces rather than recycle the Clintons again???

Do Democrats really think she is a winner? She was the inevitable Democrat nominee in 2008 but fell short against Obama. She was the inevitable president in 2016 especially running against the allegedly unelectable Donald Trump.

What does it say about Hillary, that she can’t win tough contested elections? Her 2 Senate elections in New York were easy.

Today she is giving the appearance she is ‘running’... There is no one else that has the kind of free advertising arm, than her. She better hope Trump is a better man than Obama ... IF not Trump might just ‘hammer’ her in real time.

Trump’s diverting the money into building up the military. This will provide for the best sort of diplomacy. Gunboat.
