Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton claimed Trump wants to “kill” and “imprison his opposition” in an interview in which she pleaded with voters to ignore “old” Joe Biden.
Clinton, 76, who lost the presidential election to Trump, 77, in 2016, appeared on the Defending Democracy podcast with Marc Elias, where she gave her thoughts on the 2024 race.
She believes that when it comes to the rematch between Biden and Trump, 81, she still supports the “effective and compassionate” current president, despite his age, who “wants to maintain our democracy.”
Clinton, on the other hand, believes Trump would be an autocrat along the lines of Vladimir Putin or a dictator like Kim Jong Un, although he would also be “old,” as she put it.
“Trump was just crazy about Putin because Putin does what Trump would like to do: kill his opposition, imprison his opposition, drive journalists and others into exile, govern without any checks and balances,” he said.

“That’s what Trump really wants,” he added. ‘Those are the people he’s modeling himself after, and we’ve been down this path in our, you know, world history. We sure don’t want to go through that again.
Clinton compared Biden to Trump, saying “he wants to maintain our democracy and will respect the results of a free and fair election.”
‘They say Joe Biden is old. I say you’re right. Joe Biden is older, he is also effective, compassionate and cares about people.’
“Donald Trump is old and has 91 federal criminal charges against him,” he said.
A Trump campaign spokesperson told Washington Examiner in a statement that Clinton was delusional.
“Hillary continues to suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome and can’t seem to accept the results of the 2016 election.”
“So now she is trying to tell lies to herself, as well as trying to trick the American people into believing her own twisted and perverted views.”
However, poll after poll has shown that Americans are more concerned about Biden’s age than Trump’s.
Clinton believes Trump would be an autocrat along the lines of Vladimir Putin or a dictator like Kim Jong Un, and at the same time be “old,” as she put it.
Clinton contrasted Biden with Trump saying that ‘he wants to maintain our democracy, he will respect the results of a fair and free election.’
Only 38 percent of likely 2024 voters believe President Joe Biden will be alive at the end of another four-year term, according to an exclusive poll for DailyMail.com from early April.
And that means one thing: Vice President Kamala Harris has the same chance of holding the top job as Biden in January 2029 if he wins re-election.
About 36 percent of likely voters believe Harris will be president at the end of the term. Exactly the same proportion who believe Biden will take the position.
The results show how the 81-year-old president’s age will be a major factor on Nov. 5 when voters choose the commander in chief they want for the next four years.
Donald Trump, his Republican rival, is only four years younger, but voters have fewer doubts.
More than half say they are confident he will make it through a full term, and 34 percent say they have doubts.
Either way, the results show how Republicans and Democrats will have to weigh not only their choice for president, but also consider who will likely fill the void if ill health (or worse) incapacitates the leader of the free world.
Trump has repeatedly attacked Biden as unfit for office because of his age. But he has also suffered unforced errors and verbal gaffes at public events that some Republicans say show his declining performance.
JL Partners asked 1,005 likely voters their opinion of Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Only 38 percent said they were confident Biden would survive four full years of another term.
“Putin has so little respect for Obama that he’s starting to spread the word nuclear,” Trump said at a rally in Richmond, Virginia, earlier this month, confusing the current president with a Democratic predecessor.
For now, Trump has the advantage.
A separate DailyMail.com/JL Partners poll of 1,000 likely voters found the former president has maintained the four-point lead he has held since December.
