Speaking in her first televised interview since her stunning defeat in the election in November, Clinton says she was ‘gobsmacked’ by Donald Trump’s winHillary Clinton on Sunday called Donald Trump’s inaugural speech as president “a cry from the white nationalist gut”. She was perhaps most candid in her assessment of Trump’s appeal to “millions of white people”, in opposition to the changing demographics of America. During the campaign, in a moment widely criticized and weaponised by the Trump campaign, Clinton memorably referred to half of Trump’s supporters as a “basket of deplorables”. “It did not matter to them.”When CBS interviewer Jane Pauley suggested Clinton had offended those who did not “personally feel deplorable”, Clinton disagreed emphatically. “Every few minutes, Bill would repeat what he had been saying all morning: ‘I’m so proud of you,’” Clinton writes.
