Clinton Uses an Awkward Olympics Metaphor to Attack Trump as ‘Fearful’

Hillary Clinton used kind of an awkward and somewhat confusing Olympics metaphor to attack Donald Trump as “fearful” today.

As she ripped Trump on trade, Clinton said, “If Team USA was as fearful as Trump, Michael Phelps and Simone Biles would be cowering in the locker room, afraid to come out to compete!”

“Instead they’re winning gold medals!” Clinton said. “America isn’t afraid to compete!”

So Trump is fearful on trade because… wait… Trump is scared to compete with.. the world… huh?
