Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump says Hillary Clinton’s recent praise of President Obama makes her “look like a marshmallow.”
“Boy, did you ever see somebody so nice to the president though?” Trump asked a crowd Wednesday at Regent University, a private, Christian college in Virginia Beach, Va. He also suggested that Clinton is “being protected from her email scandal by the Democrats” and that she’s cozied up to Obama to avoid indictment.

“‘Oh, the president is wonderful,’ she says,” Trump said, mimicking the Democratic presidential hopeful. “‘Oh, the president is great. He’s great.'”
“You know why she’s doing that?” he asked the audience. “I know why. Boy oh boy she’s become like a marshmallow. Everything he does — ‘Oh, it’s wonderful.'”
“And I tell you, her life cannot be so easy. What she’s done is so wrong and it’s so unfair. And it looks like she’ll be the nominee and it looks like she’ll get away with it,” he said. “But it’s something that will be discussed. It will be discussed often, often, often.”
Earlier this week, Trump told Fox News’ Sean Hannity that as president, he would prosecute Clinton for storing classified information on an unsecure, private email server during her tenure as secretary of state.
“If a Republican wins, if I’m winning, certainly you will look at that as being fair to anyone else. So unfair to the people that have been prosecuted over the years for doing much less than she did,” he said.
