“But do you want to be complimented by that former KGB officer”, Lauer grilled Trump.
In an interview with Israeli TV this week, Clinton said that Trump supporters are, “what I call the deplorables; you know, the racists and the, you know, the haters, and the people who are drawn because they think somehow he’s going to restore an America that no longer exists”.
Jimye says, “I wish no one bad health but she seems to be struggling with some issues of concern”.

“What’s truly deplorable isn’t just that Hillary Clinton made an inexcusable mistake in front of wealthy donors and reporters happened to be around to catch it, it’s that Clinton revealed just how little she thinks of the hard-working men and women of America”, Trump senior communications adviser Jason Miller said in a statement.
