Donald Trump’s first speech as the presumptive Republican nominee was everything that the GOP has always been fearing. Trump was stuck on his same talking points, and when he tried to “go after” Hillary Clinton, he was a pathetic failure.

Trump said, “We’re going after Hillary Clinton. She will not be a great president. She will not be a good president. She will be a poor president. She doesn’t understand trade. Her husband signed perhaps in the history of the world the single worst trade deal ever done. It’s called NAFTA, and I was witness to the carnage over the last six weeks especially.”
Donald Trump is going to go after Hillary Clinton by telling America that she will be a bad president while blaming her in the most sexist way possible for her husband’s NAFTA trade deal. It is almost like Donald Trump is intentionally trying to lose the election. Trump’s speech revealed just how far in over his head, he is. It is one thing to beat a bunch of Republican also-rans who were too afraid of losing votes with the GOP base to call out Trump’s absurd ideas, but Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party are going to take Trump apart in ways that he can’t even imagine.
Instead of looking presidential and reassuring Republicans that he is in any way up to the job, Trump confirmed all of their worst fears. He seems to be winging it, and he is planning on doing what worked for him during the Republican primary. Donald Trump doesn’t understand that he is about to move to a bigger political stage and he will be held to a higher standard.
Trump’s speech was the kind of bomb that revealed that he isn’t presidential material. Trump shouldn’t be taken lightly, but he is not ready for what is about to hit him. Donald Trump can go after Hillary Clinton, but the Democratic Party is getting ready to dismantle Donald Trump.
