Hillary Clinton Warns Britain on Potential Trade Deal with Trump
VOA, Reuters ^ | October 15, 2017 | VOA, Reuters

LONDON — Former U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton cautioned Britain on Sunday over its push to secure a trade deal with U.S. President Donald Trump after it leaves the European Union.

Clinton, the Democratic Party candidate who lost out to Trump in last November's election, also said Britain would face serious disruption if it left the EU without a negotiated deal with Brussels.

The British government has talked up the prospect of bilateral trade deals with the United States and others as one of the major benefits of leaving the EU following last year's surprise referendum vote to leave.

Asked about the prospects of a British-U.S. deal, Clinton told the BBC: "You're making a trade deal with somebody who says he doesn't believe in trade, so I'm not quite sure how that's going to play out over the next few years."

British Prime Minister Theresa May visited Trump in January to talk trade. The countries share $200 billion of trade each year.

But May has since intervened in a dispute between U.S. aerospace firm Boeing and Canadian planemaker Bombardier, lobbying in the interests of Bombardier to try to protect jobs at its factory in Northern Ireland.

Clinton also said Britain would be at a "very big disadvantage" if divorce negotiations with the EU failed, and went on to compare the factors behind the Brexit vote to her own election loss.

"Looking at the Brexit vote now it was a precursor to some extent to what happened to us in the United States... The amount of fabricated, false information that your voters were given by the 'Leave' campaign," she said.

She said her own presidential campaign was subject to similar treatment, citing the spread of false stories by online news outlets, and warned that Britain and other countries must be alert to the risks of such new media.

"The big lie is a very potent tool," she said.

That bitch has no business undermining affairs of state or speaking about them to foreign governments; she’s a private citizen, nothing more. If I were president, I’d order her and any other private citizen who tried to help her dragged away in chains. Getting sick of this crap.

Why, why, why hasnt the Trump adminstration done a damn thing investiate, charge, try and convict this awful, treatcherous, nasty woman for her MANY high crimes?

Sessions may be a pansie, but Trump could demand his department take action. Doesnt Trump care that she is undermining his presidency?

I think the problem is that Hillary can depend on the complicit media to cry that a prosecution against her is a political hit job.

Also, we (the US) probably have more to lose from becoming a country like Ukraine, where the winners routinely put the losers in jail, and the country ends up with a system where the recriminations are endless, and almost everyone jockeying for power is deeply corrupt, than in letting a "Hillary" skate for a while.

It is also possible Trump expects Hillary to hang herself: She's already managed to do that at least partially, in a political sense, more than once.

Even here, Trump or an aide can use Hitlery's words against her:

"The big lie is a very potent tool," she said.

"You're making a trade deal with somebody who says he doesn't believe in trade.

That can be attacked from multiple directions, including: Trump has never said such a thing - challenge her head on, on that; She is going overseas and interfering with our duly elected gov't in a negotiation; and, she is attempting to disrupt job creation in the US.

Because she believes that it is impossible to enrich oneself without impoverishing someone else. And she ought to know. That’s the ruling philosophy of the Clinton Foundation.

Are Brits dumb enough to listen to the woman who ignored bill Clinton’s pleas thst she campaign in Wisconsin?

He begged her. She refused. She lost. She had a master politician, 2 time president in her own house and she ignored him on something that was obvious.

Spoken with the authority and experience of a true Alinsky ideologue.

Hillary’s whole life is a big lie, and socialism is failing while this old cow tries desperately to prop it up.

How much more and how much longer will she be accommodated with a platform for her rantings?

What forces need to be summoned to shut this woman's mouth?

Poor Hillary Clinton. Trump’s America, Britain’s Brexit, Austria’s Populist, Nationalism, Czech, Populist, Nationalism....the anti-global movement has begun in earnest, world wide, and grows in Hungry, Poland, northern Europe, central Europe, South America, etc.

“Yes, Virginia”, The globalist world of Obama and George Orwell’s “1984” Big Brother world government will not come to pass. Freedom, Liberty, Individualism, Opportunity, Equality, Safety will prevail in the world to come.

The Tyrants & hateful, power hungry, Despots, led by American Haters, and America would be destroyers, Barack Hussein Obama & Hillary Clinton will not see the light of day!!!

She needs to stay out of it.

She LOST.

She no longer has any role in our government and no authority or right to undermine Trump and push her own agenda.
