Donald Trump has played dirty politics for nearly a near, but now the presumptive Republican nominee has gone from...playing dirty...to slinging mud.
For Trump to spew slanderous suggestions that Bill and Hillary Clinton were in any way connected to the 1993 death of their White House adviser and
close friend, Vince Foster, is disgraceful. Foster's fatality was positively ruled a suicide, decades ago, by law enforcement officials and a subsequent federal investigation. And for Trump - or anyone else - to think...to argue...or to even hint...that the former President and the former First Lady may have been involved with a conspiracy...that led to Foster's demise...is not only despicable, but just plain stupid.
Donald Trump is being uglier than ever...and that's quite an achievement for somebody who has been nastier and more disgusting than any other Presidential candidate in history.
For Trump to imply - in any shape, matter or form - that President and Mrs. Clinton are murderers of their former Deputy White House Counsel...is repulsive behavior...and he should be ashamed of himself. But I doubt the billionaire businessman has admitted to being ashamed of anything in his entire life. Trump's incendiary insinuation is probably the worst attack on a political opponent ever.
In an interview with The Washington Post - which was published on Monday, May 23rd, 2016 - Trump told the newspaper that circumstances resulting in the passing of Vince Foster are "very fishy." The real estate mogul also told The Washington Post, "I don't bring up (Foster's death) because I don't know enough to really discuss it. I will say there are people who continue to bring it up because they think it was absolutely a murder. I don't do that because I don't think it's fair."
Then why the hell did Trump mention it at all? He did...so that false accusations against Bill and Hillary Clinton would resurface during this year's race for The White House. Trump will use the tactics of vermin in his scandalous and obnoxious attempt to defeat the former Secretary of State. And by re-creating untrue allegations... Trump's reprehensible remarks are splattered on the front pages of national and international newspapers...aired as "breaking news" on the 24-hour cable networks... and muddled all over the Internet and on social media. That being said...on Thursday, May 26th, 2016, Trump told reporters in Bismarck, North Dakota that Vince Foster's death doesn't belong part of the general election contest. But he was already irresponsible with his earlier comments to The Washington Post. It's the game Donald Trump plays - "Wheel Of Irresponsibility" - and he spins it to his benefit.
Donald Trump knows that - on November 8th - Hillary Clinton will swat him like a tsetse fly...and she will be elected our country's 45th President. Trump can't run a legitimate and decent campaign, so he has orchestrated a scummy one. Trump is intellectually and strategically unable to administer an issue-based competition, so instead, he focuses on lies...conspiracy theories...and re-igniting witch-hunts from the past. Trump has no clue what it takes to occupy The Oval Office. Therefore, to avoid answering questions about the problems and concerns facing America and the world...Trump puts his own distorted twist on whatever he can...in his attempt to make Secretary Clinton look bad. But when election day comes around, it will become obvious to Trump that his horrendous actions will not have been successful.
In addition to Trump's foulmouthed, toxic-tongued, bogus rhetoric about the Clintons and Vince Foster...the GOP candidate is spouting his venom at our 42nd President because of his alleged extra-marital affairs. President Bill Clinton's personal past...is not...and should not be...a matter for discussion in the 2016 Presidential election. For Donald Trump to use Mr. Clinton as a political punching bag is inexcusable and unjustifiable.
Some of my readers - especially those of you who identify yourselves as Republican or Conservative - are probably wondering why I did not focus today's column on the e-mail and server matter that has plagued Hillary Clinton for sometime now. The reason I have not concentrated on defending Secretary Clinton on that insignificant subject...is because...it's pointless. Those who support Mrs. Clinton for President - including and especially me - are fed up with such an invalid persecution of the likely Democratic nominee. Those who are against her...well...nothing I say is going to change their minds.
The report by the State Department's Inspector General - released Wednesday, May 25th, 2016 - proved that using a private e-mail address has been the practice of other Secretaries of State...other Cabinet Secretaries...and other Administration officials from the Democratic and Republican parties, past and present. Secretary Clinton has admitted time and time again - including during Congressional testimony - that she made a "mistake"...and if she could "go back"...she'd do it "differently." But the fact is that no one at the State Department...and nobody in The White House...ever advised Mrs. Clinton not to use her own e-mail address or a private server while she was Secretary of State. As such...none of this will have an impact or any affect whatsoever on Mrs. Clinton's campaign. If she was not running for President, this entire predicament would never have been escalated. Hillary Clinton did nothing illegal...and it's time that everyone realizes that.
On the other side of the political penny...Donald Trump is not fit to be President of the United States. He is a monumental menace to the average American's rights and freedoms...an individual who encourages violence at campaign rallies...and whose radical foreign policy beliefs are dangerous. Trump is someone who continues to use vile and vicious language towards people he doesn't like...including calling Secretary Clinton..."Crooked Hillary" and "This Lowlife." It defies logic that anyone would want a person who speaks with such vulgar vocabulary to be our nation's President. And if any American thinks that Donald Trump is presenting himself in a fashion worthy of the highest office in our land...then how sad for you.
