      Trump: Clinton Possibly 'Most Corrupt Person' to Seek US Presidency

   by Ken Bredemeier

   U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump unleashed a
   scathing attack on Hillary Clinton Wednesday, saying his Democratic
   opponent "may be the most corrupt person ever" to seek the U.S.
   presidency.

   In his most pointed broadside yet against Clinton, Trump accused the
   former U.S. secretary of state of supporting U.S. policies overseas
   that led to "death, destruction and terrorism" while serving as the
   country's top diplomat from 2009 to 2013 and then enriching herself by
   making millions of dollars from speeches after leaving office.

   In a speech before cheering supporters in New York, the billionaire
   real estate mogul said that Clinton "has perfected the politics of
   personal profit and theft." At another point, he called her a "world
   class liar."

   He said Clinton, seeking to become the first female U.S. president,
   "ran the State Department like her own personal hedge fund, doing
   favors for oppressive regimes, and many others, in exchange for cash."
   He said donors made contributions to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea
   Clinton Foundation based on her decisions as secretary of state.

   Trump said that after leaving office, Clinton collected nearly $21
   million in speaking fees from Wall Street banks and other special
   interests and then refused to divulge the content of the speeches she
   made. It was similar to the charge that Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders
   leveled against her in his long, ultimately unsuccessful campaign for
   the Democratic presidential nomination.

   Trump, seeking elected office for the first time, has often rambled
   through his unscripted campaign speeches, but the text of Wednesday's
   40-minute speech was handed out to reporters ahead of time.

   `Deadly foreign policy'

   He blamed Clinton for the rise of Islamic State terrorism in the Middle
   East, for allegedly lying about the circumstances surrounding the 2012
   attack on U.S. compounds in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four
   Americans, including the U.S. ambassador, and overseas trade deals that
   he said have cost the jobs of U.S. workers.

   "In short, Hillary Clinton's tryout for the presidency has produced one
   deadly foreign policy disaster after another, and one by one they're
   all bad," Trump said. "She lacks the temperament, the judgment and
   competence to lead our country. She should not be president under any
   circumstances."

   But Trump avoided any mention of his most controversial proposals,
   temporarily banning Muslims from entering the U.S. to try to thwart
   another terrorist attack, deporting 11 million illegal immigrants
   already living in the country and building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico
   border to halt the stream of more migrants into the country.

   Trump's attack on Clinton came a day after she denounced his
   credentials as a businessman, recalling his four corporate
   bankruptcies, building casinos and numerous other failed business
   ventures. She pointedly noted that Trump has had several Trump-branded
   products manufactured overseas to take advantage of cheaper labor.

   In his speech, Trump said he will bring manufacturing jobs back to the
   United States, but made no mention of his products.

   National political surveys in the U.S. show Clinton with a
   5.8-percentage-point edge over Trump five months ahead of the November
   8 election to replace President Barack Obama when he leaves office next
   January.
