Donald Trump appears to be adding a new line to his collection of signature insults, a list that includes “Low-energy Jeb Bush,” “Lyin’ Ted Cruz” and “Little Marco Rubio.”

Within the past 24 hours, Trump has unveiled a new moniker, this time aimed at the Democratic front-runner: Hillary Clinton is incompetent.

The New York billionaire has long maintained that the former secretary of state lacks the strength and stamina to be president, but in the wake of the terrorist attacks that ravaged Brussels on Tuesday, Trump is now questioning Clinton’s capability to be commander-in-chief.

“I think people will see I’m much more competent than she is,” Trump told Bloomberg Politics’ “With All Due Respect” in an interview conducted Tuesday but broadcast Wednesday. “I think I’m much smarter than she is. I think I’m much more competent than she is.”

Trump used the same phrase during his appearance on Fox News’ “Hannity” late Tuesday. “Incompetent Hillary doesn't know what she's talking about,” he told host Sean Hannity in a phone interview. “She doesn't have a clue. She's made such bad decisions.”

Roughly 40 minutes later, Trump took to his favorite platform to re-up his new phrase.

“Incompetent Hillary, despite the horrible attack in Brussels today, wants borders to be weak and open-and let the Muslims flow in,” he tweeted. “No way!”
