HILLARY Clinton launched a blistering attack on Donald Trump as she officially accepted the Democratic presidential nomination.
Clinton hit out at the outspoken Republican nominee
Clinton is the first woman to be nominated for President and used her acceptance speech to square up against her Republican opponent in the race for the White House, accusing Trump of using divisive rhetoric to strike fear into Americans.
She said: “It comes down to what Donald Trump doesn't get, that America is great because America is good."
Clinton went on to hit out at the outspoken property mogul’s rhetoric on terror and national security.

She said: “Now Donald Trump says, and this is a quote, ‘I know more about ISIS than the generals do’.
“No, Donald, you don’t.”
“Ask yourself: “Does Donald Trump have the temperament to be commander-in-chief?

Donald Trump can't even handle the rough-and-tumble of a presidential campaign
“Donald Trump can't even handle the rough-and-tumble of a presidential campaign.
“Imagine him in the Oval Office facing a real crisis.
“A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons.”
Trump initially said he would not be watching her speech, telling a rally in Iowa: "I think we'll stay here all night because I don't really want to go home and watch that crap.”
But the Republican firebrand quickly took to his beloved twitter account after her official nomination to send out his rebuttal.

In a message to his 10.4million followers he said: “Hillary's refusal to mention Radical Islam, as she pushes a 550 per cent increase in refugees, is more proof that she is unfit to lead the country.
“Our way of life is under threat by Radical Islam and Hillary Clinton cannot even bring herself to say the words.
“No one has worse judgement than Hillary Clinton - corruption and devastation follows her wherever she goes.”
