Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright charged Friday that Donald Trump is “erratic” and says “crazy things,” and that these qualities make her “nervous” when she thinks about how he would act as president of the United States.
“I’ve traveled abroad an awful lot, and our allies don’t think we’re weak,” she said on CNN Friday. “They don’t understand what he is saying and why he changes his mind, why he thinks that NATO doesn’t work, why he thinks that Saudi Arabia needs to have nuclear weapons, why he says the Japanese need to be nuclearized, any number of things that absolutely don’t make sense.”
“What you need to have is somebody who doesn’t think he knows everything, but has people around that differ in their opinions, who is respectful of the people’s opinions, who listens, who makes considered judgments and understands the unintended consequences of foreign policy decisions,” she added. “Donald Trump does not exhibit any iota of any one of those qualities, and it makes me nervous, it really does.”
Late Thursday night, Albright tweeted out that Trump would “flunk my class on decision-making in foreign policy.”
.@realDonaldTrump would flunk my class on decision-making in foreign policy. The commander-in-chief test is even tougher. No way he can pass
