All the times Hillary Clinton warned US voters about Donald Trump and she was right:
1. Butter fingers
“A man who can be provoked by a tweet should not have his fingers anywhere near the nuclear codes, as far as I think anyone with any sense about this should be concerned.”
– First Trump-Clinton debate, September 2016
2. Always prepared
“I think Donald just criticized me for preparing for this debate. And, yes, I did. And you know what else I prepared for? I prepared to be president. And I think that’s a good thing.”

3. Russian lawyers
“We have never in the history of our country been in a situation where an adversary, a foreign power, is working so hard to influence the outcome of the election, and believe, they’re not doing it to get me elected.”

4. Muslim tests
“But it is important for us as a policy not to say, as Donald has said, we’re going to ban people based on a religion. How do you that?… Are we going to have religious tests when people fly into our country and how do we expect to be able to implement those?”

5. Words matter
“Words matter when you run for president. And they really matter when you are president.”

6. FBI in the sky
“Every time Donald thinks things aren’t going in his direction, he claims whatever it is, is rigged against him. The FBI conducted a yearlong investigation into my e-mails. They concluded there was no case. He said the FBI was rigged.”

7. Taunted
“The other day, I saw Donald saying that there were some Iranian sailors on a ship in the waters off of Iran, and they were taunting American sailors who were on a nearby ship. He said, you know, if they taunted our sailors, I’d blow them out of the water and start another war. That’s not good judgment.”

8. Band aids
“Your child had asthma, you may not be able to have insurance because you can’t afford it. So let’s fix what’s broken about it, but let’s not throw it away and give it back to the insurance companies. That’s not going to work.”
– Second Trump-Clinton debate, October 2016
9. Everything’s fine
“He even said, well, you know, if there were nuclear war in East Asia, well, you know, that’s fine…”
