AMERICA'S GRUDGE MATCH
This week’s US presidential debate will have “left much of the world quaking at the notion that the one with the bouffant hair might reach the White House”, said Max Hastings in the Daily Mail. Hillary Clinton may be unlovable and untrustworthy, but she is “rational, informed, experienced”. Donald Trump, by contrast, showed on Monday night that he is utterly unfit to be
president. He lied in denying his support for the 2003 Iraq war; he insisted that the US should seize Middle Eastern oil; he blamed President Obama for America’s gun violence. And when Clinton pushed him to publish his tax returns, suggesting that he had paid no federal income tax, he replied: “That
makes me smart.” Clinton delivered “a poised, fighting performance, throwing punch after punch”. “This is a man who has called women pigs, slobs and dogs”, who has called maternity leave “an inconvenience”, she reminded the debate’s 100 million or so viewers.
