Clinton took aim at Trump’s tendency to tweet out accusations, and she was accurate when she joked that she was “willing to bet that he’s writing a few about me right now”.

Trump has shot back at Clinton, saying she has distorted his foreign policy views and that he wants other nations to contribute a larger financial share to security and defense.
“And you will hear in her speech a confidence in America and our capacity to overcome the challenges we face while staying true to our values – a strong contrast to Donald Trump’s incessant trash-talking of America”, Sullivan said.
Clinton’s campaign has said it expects to secure the final delegates she needs to officially become the party’s nominee after the California and New Jersey primaries on 7 June.
“This is not someone who should ever have the nuclear codes, because it’s not hard to imagine Donald Trump leading us into a war just because someone got under his very thin skin”, Clinton said.
Clinton noted that Trump has praised leaders like Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un, declaring he has a “bizarre fascination with dictators and strongmen”. “Look, I’ll be honest, she has no natural talent to be president”. “We can not let that happen”.
Clinton’s campaign said the speech, which will be delivered in San Diego at 11.30am local time, will draw a clear line between the former secretary of state’s plans and those outlined by Trump, which include having Mexico pay for a border wall that its president, Enrique Peña Nieto, said his country would not support, and temporarily banning Muslims from entering the US. Just 12 percent said she’d be able to curb Wall Street influence.
Trump, who has clinched the Republican nomination, is also struggling with questions about his charitable giving to veterans groups.
She noted that her tenure as secretary of state gives her the type of foreign policy experience Trump lacks, mentioning her work to advance agreements to fight climate change, a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, a nuclear weapons reduction deal with Russian Federation and sanctions against Iran. “Honestly, she should not be allowed to run”. “Making Donald Trump commander-in-chief would be a historic mistake”.

Though she’s almost clinched the nomination, she’s running neck-in-neck with her Democratic opponent Senator Bernie Sanders in polls for next week’s California vote.
