Condemning Clinton

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump used his acceptance speech to outline a dystopian America that Hillary Clinton helped build and wants to keep in place.

"Hillary Clinton’s message is that things will never change," Trump said. "My message is that things have to change, and they have to change right now."

NJ Advance Media on Monday looked at seven lines of attack Clinton was using against Trump. Here are seven ways Trump is going after Clinton.

1. She's rolling out the red carpet for those who shouldn't be here

Trump has made stopping immigration the centerpiece of his presidential campaign. He has criticized Clinton for supporting a pathway to citizenship for the estimated 11 million unauthorized immigrants, calling it "amnesty;" and for her call to admit more Syrian refugees after they undergo the vetting process of 18 to 24 months.

"Americans want relief from uncontrolled immigration," Trump said in accepting the Republican presidential nomination. "Communities want relief. Yet Hillary Clinton is proposing mass amnesty, mass immigration, and mass lawlessness."

2. She's coming for your guns

Trump has insisted that Clinton wants to "essentially abolish" the Second Amendment right to bear arms. The Pulitzer Prize-winning Politifact website has declared that statement "false."

Clinton has endorsed efforts to ban those on the terrorist watch list from buying weapons and to require background checks for purchases at gun shows and online.

3. Prosecute her

Trump and his allies have continued to attack Clinton over her use of a private email server as U.S. secretary of state. Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey recommended against prosecuting her. "We cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts," Comey said.

Even so, he said Clinton and other State Department officials "were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information."

4. She was responsible for Benghazi

Eight congressional investigations into the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya, found no wrongdoing on the part of Clinton, who was secretary of state at the time.

Trump and the Republicans are making Benghazi a campaign issue, including inviting the mother of one of the victims to address their national convention in Cleveland.

5. She won't let us drill, baby, drill

Clinton has backed efforts to address climate change, which would require a move to clean energy rather than the continued burning of coal for power plants. Trump, who has called climate change a "hoax," has said Clinton's policy would drive up the cost of electricity and said he would increase coal production and oil drilling.

"Her anti-energy regulations will be a tax hike on the poor," Trump said in a speech in Tampa, Fla., pledging to "unleash an energy revolution that will bring vast new wealth to our country."

6. She clearly never read The Art of the Deal

Like Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders during the Democratic primaries, Trump's rhetoric against free trade found a receptive audience. He blamed the North American Free Trade Agreement, signed by President Bill Clinton, for the exodus of manufacturing jobs to foreign countries and pledged to oppose the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which Hillary Clinton initially supported before coming out against the final deal.

Trump has sought to use Clinton's previous support of free trade deals to win over displaced workers in traditionally Democratic industrial states who saw their jobs go overseas.

7. Where the Clintons go, money follows

Trump has criticized the speaking fees that both Bill and Hillary Clinton earned when they left public service, and the fact that many donors to their foundation were able to meet with the then-U.S. secretary of state.

"There’s no way the Clintons could go from dead broke to making more $250 million since leaving office without breaking the law and trading off their access to office," Trump campaign spokesman Jason Miller said. "This is exactly why we need a special prosecutor to investigate the blurring of lines between the Clinton State Department, the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton’s personal bank account. It’s corruption and the rigged system in Washington at its worst."
