Hillary Clinton Jokes: I Gave ‘Some Thought’ To Moving Abroad After Trump Won

Hillary Clinton said in a speech on Monday that she considered moving abroad after Donald Trump won the presidency.

Speaking in Auckland, New Zealand on the foreign leg of her tour to promote 2016 campaign memoir What Happened, Clinton reflected before a crowd of 3,000 people who she dealt with the defeat.

“I’m still proud of the campaign we ran and the 65.8 million Americans who supported it,” she said. “So when people ask me ‘how are you doing?’ I say, well as a person I’m okay. But as an American, I’m concerned.”

Clinton then joked that she received invitations to move permanently to New Zealand. “I must say I really did appreciate the offers,” she said. “Gave them some thought.”

“But I’m going to stay put because we have work to do in my country as well,” she added.

Aside from her comment about moving abroad, Clinton took a number of shots at Trump — without mentioning him by name — describing the campaign as a “reality TV” election and saying she wished she had taken him to task after he “stalked” her at the 2016 debates, according to the New Zealand Herald.
