Activer le mode zenNick Corasaniti and Jonah Engel Bromwich (The New York Times, 03/06/2016)
With escalating vitriol, Donald J. Trump unleashed an attack on Hillary Clinton on Thursday in response to her speech earlier in the day criticizing his foreign policy positions.
Speaking at a campaign rally here, he began by calling her speech “pathetic,” dismissing it as a stunt and saying, “It had nothing to do with foreign policy.”
Outside the event, protesters, some brandishing Mexican flags, clashed violently with Mr. Trump’s supporters.

Clinton attacks

A speech that was billed as a major foreign policy address instead unfolded as a savage, mocking evisceration of Donald Trump Thursday as the former secretary of state adopted an aggressive new campaign persona designed to repel the unpredictable challenge posed by the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

At another point, she said she “negotiated the reduction of nuclear weapons with Russia.”

"Crooked Hillary"
Associated Press (The Washington Post, 02/06/2016)
Donald Trump is accusing Hillary Clinton of misrepresenting his views on foreign policy — and suggesting he will revive one of his infamous nicknames.
“She made up my foreign policy,” Trump said Thursday night in San Jose, California. “She’s Lyin’, Crooked Hillary.”
Trump had previously dubbed Texas Senator Ted Cruz as “Lyin’ Ted.” He has taken to calling Clinton “crooked” in recent weeks.
