Hillary Clinton says Donald Trump is 'obsessed' with her

Hillary Clinton has accused her former campaign rival, President Donald Trump, of being “obsessed” with her public remarks.

“Apparently, you know, my former opponent is obsessed with my speaking out,” Ms Clinton said at a forum in Arkansas, noting that the President had tweeted about her again that day.

“Honestly, between tweeting and golfing, how does he get anything done?” she asked. “I don’t understand it. Maybe that’s the whole point.”

Ms Clinton appeared onstage with her husband, Bill, at an event commemorating the 25th anniversary of his election. Earlier that day, Mr Trump had posted a tweet calling Ms Clinton the “worst (and biggest) loser of all time”.

“She just can’t stop, which is so good for the Republican Party,” the President wrote. “Hillary, get on with your life and give it another try in three years!”

Mr Trump has tweeted about his former opponent more than 50 times since the election. He recently suggested appointing a special prosecutor to investigate her role in the 2010 sale of a uranium company to a Russian agency.

Ms Clinton, however, vowed not to let the criticism affect her, telling the audience: “I’m gonna keep speaking out.”

True to her word, the former Secretary of State spent much of her Saturday appearance criticising the current administration. At one point, she took aim at presidential advisor Kellyanne Conway’s infamous claim that the White House was providing “alternative facts”.

“There is no such thing as an alternative fact,” Ms Clinton said. “It does not exist – in politics or in nature. And it was astonishing to me the things people believed about me in this campaign.”

She also contrasted Mr Trump’s foreign policy approach to her husband’s, saying Mr Clinton “didn’t tweet about it – he got to work about it”. Twitter was invented in 2006.

While other former first families, such as the Obamas, have been muted in their criticism of the current administration, Ms Clinton has not been shy about hers. In an interview published Friday, she said that if Mr Trump followed through on his threats to investigate her, it would be “a signal that we’re going to be like some dictatorship, some authoritarian regime where political opponents are going to be unfairly, fraudulently investigated”.

“It will also send a terrible signal to our country and the world that somehow we are giving up on the kind of values we used to live by, and that we used to promote worldwide,” she told Mother Jones.
