Donald Trump’s campaign is focused on “big changes and bold solutions” while Hillary Clinton’s is concentrated on “small and petty distractions,” the Republican presidential nominee said Wednesday.

Trump framed his campaign as a serious White House bid, one that could be his only shot at the presidency, while dismissing Clinton’s run as the most "unserious" campaign in American history.


“We’re gonna make America greater than ever before,” Trump told supporters during his rally in Council Bluffs, Iowa. “We can do that. But if we don’t win this election, it’ll never happen. I’ll tell you what, we’re never gonna have another shot. This is it. The tables will be turned. Then it’ll be too late.”

“While our campaign outlines big changes and bold solutions to make your life better, the Clinton campaign focuses only on small and petty distractions,” Trump continued. “Never in American history have so many serious challenges been met with so unserious a campaign as the campaign of Hillary Clinton.”

Trump, however, seemingly undercut his argument as his rally went on, mocking the former secretary of state and her aides for having destroyed more than a dozen phones, some by way of a hammer (although it appears only a couple phones may have met that fate). The real estate mogul asked supporters in the crowd if any of them had gone through 13 phones or destroyed them with a hammer, as the FBI’s notes from its yearlong investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server while serving as secretary of state revealed.

“One hand. What business are you in?” Trump said after asking his first question about the 13 phones, prompting laughter from the crowd. “What’s your business? I think he was just a wise guy. But she destroyed a number of them with a hammer. How many people have destroyed an iPhone or a phone with a hammer? Anybody in the room? Ahh, a couple of hands go up. I don’t know if they’re kidding. I think they’re kidding, but who knows.”

Trump also reminded the crowd that there’s only six weeks until Election Day before ridiculing his rival again for nearly collapsing during a 9/11 event. After nearly swooning earlier this month before aides helped her into a van, Clinton’s campaign later disclosed that she had gotten overheated and dehydrated at the memorial event and had been diagnosed with pneumonia two days earlier.

“Think of it: From June 16. Think of it — do you believe this?” Trump asked. “I’ve been out from June 16. It’s been full time. All the time. You see all the days off that Hillary takes? Day off. Day off. Day off. All those day offs and then she can’t even make it to her car. Isn’t it tough? All those day offs.”

“You ever see her chart?” he added, likely referring to her campaign schedule. “’She won’t be campaigning today. She won’t be campaigning today.’ This is day in, day out, and I’m campaigning — I’m saying what’s going on? Now in all fairness, she’s spending all of that Wall Street money on commercials, whereas I’m doing it the old-fashioned way, right? We’re doing it the old-fashioned way. So you have six weeks to make every dream you’ve ever dreamed for your country come true. You have one magnificent chance — it’s your last chance — to deliver justice for every forgotten man, woman and child in this country.”
