Hillary Clinton is expected to trash Donald Trump’s approach to world affairs in a major foreign policy address on Thursday.
Jeremy Bash, former chief of staff for Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and a Clinton surrogate, set the table for Clinton in an interview on CNN.
“As I talk to Pentagon leaders, military officials, intelligence professionals, and people across the national security world, they’re really concerned here Alisyn because they are concerned that Donald Trump has not got the right temperament for the job,” Bash said to CNN’s Alisyn Camerota. “You really want someone whose hand is on the button who lashes out at allies, who’s got such thin skin, who really says the most unbelievable things about our friends and our enemies, the one who wins applause from Kim Jong-un the dictator in North Korea?”

Bash’s remarks mirror what top campaign aides are saying publicly about Clinton’s forthcoming address. Jake Sullivan, a Clinton policy adviser, reportedly helped author the speech and told the New York Times that Trump “does not cross the threshold of fitness for the job” of president.
Clinton will deliver the speech in San Diego with under one week to go until the California primaries. While Trump dispatched with a crowded field of Republican competitors, Clinton remains ensnared by a single Democratic primary opponent, Bernie Sanders.
Californians will vote in the primaries on June 7.
