Hillary Clinton on Friday called the Trump administration’s approach to governing both dumb and dangerous in an essay excoriating the Signal chat scandal and the Elon Musk-led mission to slash the federal workforce, and concluding that Trump would make the US “feeble and friendless”.

The former secretary of state and Democratic presidential candidate wrote an op-ed for the New York Times that has been given the headline: “How much dumber will this get?” and opens: “It’s not the hypocrisy that bothers me; it’s the stupidity.”

Clinton starts with the Signal chat group scandal, when Donald Trump’s national security adviser, Mike Waltz, mistakenly added a top US journalist to a small group of government leaders on the encrypted but unclassified app and then the defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, proceeded to discuss intricate details of a forthcoming airstrike on Houthi militants in Yemen and report back to the group on the deadly results.

    Literally if it weren’t for her and the DNC collusion in 2016 this could’ve been avoided entirely. Like it legitimately does come back to Sanders - he’s very much a centrist at best and FAR from ideal, but could’ve at least greased the wheels a bit to loosen the overton window and pave the way for actual leftists.

    The DNC knows this and they wanted this. Fascism is preferable to them.
