Last updated on July 17th, 2023 at 07:07 pm

When Donald Trump was pressed for evidence to back up his claim that foreign governments hacked Hillary Clinton’s email server, Trump fell apart and offered nothing but vague promises.

Video of Trump on The NBC Nightly News:

Transcript:

Lester Holt: You also made the claim that her email, personal email server had been hacked by foreign governments….

Donald Trump : But you don’t know that it hasn’t been.

Holt: Suggesting that she would be compromised as president. What evidence do you have that?

Trump: Well, first of all, she shouldn’t have had a personal server. She shouldn’t have had it. What she did was illegal. It’s illegal. Now, she might not be judged that way because you know we have a rigged system. But what she did was illegal. She shouldn’t have had a personal server.

Holt: But is there any evidence that she was hacked other than routine phishing attempts?

Trump: I think I read that, and I heard that, and somebody also gave…..

Holt: Where?

Trump: also gave me that information. I will report back to you. I’ll give it to you.

It turns out that Donald Trump isn’t such a tough nut to crack after all. Trump can’t handle follow-up questions, and any interviewer who wants to cut through his babble just needs to not the presumptive Republican nominee off of the hook. Trump has no evidence that Clinton’s server was hacked by foreign governments. He is making stuff up off of the top of his head and hoping that it sticks.

No one gave Trump that information because the hack never happened. Trump thinks that he can lie and bluff his way to the White House, but as journalists are pressing him more, it is becoming obvious that he is a one-trick pony. Donald Trump can’t handle the heat, and when he was asked for evidence to back up his claims, he fell apart.
