2016 ELECTION/HILLARY CLINTON/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Donald Trump isn’t over the 2016 election, and Hillary Clinton isn’t either. That’s what she said in a commencement address at Yale. ‘No, I’m not over it,’ she said. ‘I still think about the 2016 election. I still regret the mistakes I made.’ But while Trump continues to goad his Department of Justice into investigating her campaign, she made jokes about the investigation into Russian election meddling that has already ensnared former staffers of his. Tapping into a Yale tradition involving crazy hats, she produced a Russian military ushanka…While most of the speech centered on her own time at Yale, Clinton also offered stark warning about the state of the American government under Trump. ‘Right now we’re living through a full-fledged crisis in our democracy,’ she said. ‘No, there are not tanks in the streets, but what’s happening right now goes to the heart of who we are as a nation, and I say this not as a Democrat who lost an election but as an American afraid of losing a country.'”
