Trump Campaign Publishes List of 50 Damning Facts about Hillary Clinton


Leaving no stone unturned in his expose of Clinton, Trump referenced everything from her lying about the Benghazi terror attacks that left four Americans dead to her support for her husband Bill’s disastrous free trade agreements as well as new ones like the Trans-Pacific Partnership that will short-sell American workers:

    1. ‘Clinton Trade Deals ‘Are Disastrous’:

Trump’s campaign argues the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) — which was enacted by President Bill Clinton — and the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), which is currently awaiting a vote in Congress and had support from Hillary Clinton, cause mass job losses in the United States — especially in the manufacturing industry.

  1. ‘Clinton Lied About Her Landing In Bosnia’

In 2008, First Lady Hillary Clinton recalled a 1996 trip as First Lady to Bosnia. She was supposed to meet with families of U.S. soldier, but claimed upon landing she was under sniper fire and had to run with her head down instead of attending a greeting ceremony. An Associated Press report from 1996 detailing the eve of her arrival, however, made no mention of this incident. In fact, a CBS News video later revealed she was under no visible duress, greeted instead on the tarmac by a child who offered her a copy of a poem.

  1. ‘Clinton Performed Favors for Donors As Secretary Of State’

Trump argues Clinton has used the Clinton Foundation as a way to fundraise where donors can gain access to political favors. He cites Raj Fernando who donated between $1 million and $5 million and was appointed as International Security Advisor to the State Department by Cheryl Mills, Clinton’s chief of staff.

He also details favors given to foreign leaders and Clinton Foundation donors such as the Sultan of Oman, Indian politician Amar Singh, and Russian’s Uranium One.

  1. ‘The Clintons Made Millions From Speeches To Special Interests’

Trump hit Clinton over her big money speeches to Wall Street — something her Democratic challenger Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) also would use to criticize her during the 2016 Democratic primary, specifically for not releasing the transcripts of the secret speeches.

The Clintons made $153 million since 2011 giving speeches to special interests such as foreign governments, CEOs and lobbyists.

  1. ‘Clinton Supported Her Husband’s ‘Disastrous’ NAFTA Policy’

As First Lady and again in 2003, Clinton praised NAFTA in her book; however, the Economic Policy Institute blames NAFTA for a loss of 700,000 jobs as of 2010.

  1. ‘Clinton Supported China’s Entrance Into The WTO’

Trump’s campaign cites a television appearance on CNN in 2000 where Clinton says normalizing trade relations would allow U.S. companies to compete with China.

‘I think it is in the interests of America and American workers that we provide the option for China to go into the WTO,” Clinton stated. ‘Right now, we are trading with China. We have a huge trade deficit with China. The agreement that has been negotiated between our two countries would open their markets to us in a way that they are not yet open, and in fact, for many large manufactured products, like automobiles, we would have the first chance to really get in and compete in that marketplace.’

  1. ‘Since Hillary-Backed Trade Agreements Adopted Nearly 1/3 Of Americas Manufacturing Jobs Have Disappeared’

Trump argues that because of China’s entrance into the WTO in 2001, by 2013 the trade deficit with China skyrocketed and 3.2 million U.S. jobs were lost.

  1. ‘The Trade Deficit With China Soared Under Clinton As Secretary Of State’

Trump says America’s trade deficit with China increased 40 percent while Clinton was Secretary of State.

  1. ‘China Stole Hundreds Of Billions Of Dollars In Intellectual Property During Clinton Tenure At State’

Trump’s campaign points to a 2013 report by the Independent Commission on the Theft of American Intellectual Property, which revealed that the U.S. lost $300 billion annually from American intellectual property (IP) rights having been stolen.

  1. ‘Clinton Gave China Millions Of Jobs And Grew Rich In Return’

According to the Economic Policy Institute, after the U.S. normalized trade relations with China — as Clinton supported — 3.2 million U.S. jobs were displaced. Trump also points to a Washington Post article detailing how Bill Clinton received $56.3 million from speeches delivered in foreign countries including China.

  1. ‘The Clintons Profited From Speeches To Chinese Interests While She Was Negotiating With China’

Trump cited Breitbart News editor Peter Schweizer’s book Clinton Cash during his speech, reading, ‘Here is a quote from the book, ‘at the center of U.S. Policy toward China was Hillary Clinton. At this critical time for U.S.- China relations, Bill Clinton gave a number of speeches that were underwritten by the Chinese government and its supporters. These funds were paid to the Clintons’ bank account directly, while Hillary was negotiating with China on behalf of the United States.’

  1. ‘Clinton Supported TPP Which Will Destroy Jobs’

Bloomberg reports that during her time as Secretary of State, Clinton helped draft the TPP trade deal and CNN notes that she delivered at least 45 public speeches supporting the deal. The Economic Policy Institute believes the TPP — which is a trade pact involving 11 nations — will eliminate more than 2 million jobs in the United States.

  1. ‘Clinton Deleted The TPP Record From Her Book And 30,000 Emails’

According to the Trump campaign, in Clinton’s memoir Hard Choices, she wrote favorably in support of the TPP and about her hard work negotiating the deal during her time as Secretary of State, but according to The International Business Times, a recent paperback edition of Hard Choices omitted her earlier TPP reference.

Adding to the action of deleting information, Trump also cites Clinton’s private, personal email server where she conducted her business as Secretary of State and how she deleted, wiping the server clean, of her emails.

  1. ‘Clinton Will Adopt TPP’

‘This is the latest Clinton cover-up and it doesn’t change anything. If she is elected president, she will adopt the Trans- Pacific Partnership and we will lose millions of jobs and our economic independence for good,’ Trump challenged in his speech.

  1. ‘Clinton Will Betray Workers On Trade’

Trump cites Clinton’s flip flop on the TPP, the Korea Deal and the Columbia Deal to reveal her inconsistency on international trade.

  1. ‘Clinton’s Foreign Policy Has Cost Americans Thousands Of Lives, Trillions Of Dollars, and Unleashed ISIS Across The World’

On this assertion, Trump points to Clinton’s original vote to support the war in Iraq, but then subsequent support of President Obama’s plan to withdraw forces — citing a Reuters report that Operation Iraqi Freedom cost trillions in taxpayer dollars. Trump also questions Clinton’s decision on how to handle ISIS and her intervention into Libya.

  1. ‘Among Clinton’s Victims Was Ambassador Chris Stevens’

Trump blasted Clinton over the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya where four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, were murdered after the State Department — under Clinton’s watch — denied numerous requests for increased security.

  1. ‘Clinton Was At Home Sleeping While Attacks In Benghazi Continued’

‘He was left helpless to die as Hillary Clinton soundly slept in her bed. That’s right. When the phone rang, as per the commercial, at three o’clock in the morning, Hillary Clinton was sleeping,’ Trump stated during his speech, pointing to a report from FactCheck.org that revealed Clinton said she decided to leave the State Department and work from home the night of the Benghazi attack.

  1. ‘Ambassador Stevens And His Staff In Libya Made Hundreds Of Requests For Increased Security And Were Denied’

The State Department denied numbers of requests for additional security in Benghazi during the months leading up to the attack.

  1. ‘Clinton Lied About A Video Causing The Deaths Of Americans In Benghazi’

Trump cites Clintons remarks on September 12, 2012 over the deaths in Benghazi, where she blamed the attack on a YouTube video. However, the night of the attack, Clinton emailed her daughter Chelsea Clinton and said the attack came from an ‘Al Qaeda-Like group,’ according to NBC News.

Additionally, according to a State Department release, Clinton reportedly told the Egyptian Prime Minister that the attack in Benghazi ‘had nothing to do with the film’ but rather ‘was a planned attack — not a protest.’

  1. ‘In Four Years Clinton Managed To Single Handedly Destabilize The Middle East And Hand Over Libya To ISIS’

Trump criticized Clinton for intervening in Libya without resolving how the country would be governed after Gaddafi was removed, and points to ISIS increasing its presence in Libya following the intervention.”

What a sad state of affairs we are currently in, for a presidential candidate to do a better job of vetting their rival than the media has done.
