Trump touts his temperament while Clinton laughs

Hillary Clinton does not have the “look” or the “stamina” to be president, Donald Trump said, prompting Clinton to smile wryly.

“She doesn't have the look. She doesn't have the stamina,” Trump said. “To be president of this country, you need tremendous stamina.”


"Well, as soon as he travels to 112 countries and negotiates a peace deal, a cease-fire, a release of dissidents, an opening of new opportunities in nations around the world or even spends 11 hours testifying in front of a congressional committee, he can talk to me about stamina," Clinton retorted.

Prompting Clinton’s laughter just moments earlier, Trump declared that he had a stronger temperament.

“I also have a much better temperament than she does, you know?” Trump said, after declaring his judgment to be superior to Clinton’s.

“I think my strongest asset — maybe by far — is my temperament. I have a winning temperament. I know how to win,” Trump said. Clinton continued smiling.

A recent New York Times/CBS News poll found that 55 percent of voters believe Clinton has “the right kind of temperament and personality to be a good president,” while only 31 percent said Trump did.

The Clinton campaign has repeatedly hit Trump for what they say is an unstable temperament. Clinton repeated her line moments later that the nuclear codes should not be given to someone “you can bait with a tweet.”
