The Republican frontrunner defends his recent proposal on limiting Muslims before attacking his Democrat rival.
Donald Trump has claimed in an interview on Fox News Sunday that Hillary Clinton “killed hundreds of thousands of people with her stupidity” during her tenure as Secretary of State.
When asked to defend his accusation, Mr Trump said: “The Middle East is a total disaster under her… look at Iraq, total disaster. They didn’t get us in – but they got us out, badly…”

“Hillary Clinton does not have the judgement, the strength or the stamina to be President. She would be a terrible President.”
Mr Trump also defended his comments from last week regarding his proposal to ban all Muslims from entering the United States.
