An aide to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump says Bill and Hillary Clinton don't "get what it means to be an American."

"I think the Clintons are so separated from regular people, they can't quite connect," Jason Miller, a top spokesman for Trump, argued on Fox News's "The Kelly File" on Wednesday.

"How do you go from not being able to pay either of your mortgages when you leave the White House to being worth a couple hundred million dollars without ever doing so much as billing an hour of legal work or producing anything or winning Powerball or anything else?" he said.

"And so, they live in alternate reality, and I don't think they get what it means to be an American," he said.

1. When this election is over, and assuming we win, stupid Trump quotes will make us laugh for years.

[underpants]

2. They speak and write words

and people want to hear what they say.

As opposed to selling your name and being on fake tv

[Jason1961]

3. The Right is jealous

The Right is always jealous when someone is successful on the Left, even when that person has devoted her life to the service of others.

[SpankMe]

4. ...And Trump doesn't get what it is to be human. nt

5. I have absolute confidence that Hillary and Bill Clinton both understand a wide range of Americans

because they actually want to, and have spent their whole adult lives finding out about other people. And both had pretty normal childhoods, although their ability would have marked them out a little.

Trump, on the other hand, grew up rich, with a father who could pay for special schooling when Trump's personality turned out to be defective. And since then, money has insulated him from normal people, and since he's never had any empathy whatsoever for any other person, that has isolated him more than any candidate I can think of (Dubya also had a privileged childhood, but he actually wants to be personally liked, rather than just admired, and that will have made him a bit more understanding of others).

This, as your picture shows, is some of the worst projection you can imagine.

7. here we go... the stupid desperate refrain of the right

they pull it out every election around this time

[niyad]

8. oh dear goddess, that is one of the funniest things I have read today. PROJECTION, anyone?

[TeamPooka]

9. Someone is forgetting the best selling autobiographies Bill & Hillary wrote after his leaving office

that made them millions with advances and royalties.
Writing books is called "producing something."

[OKNancy]

10. book sales

I believe that is actually the bulk of their wealth.

[sinkingfeeling]

12. Okay, we all know the Obamas aren't American and now neither

are the Clinton's. I guess only the GOP with its basket of deplorables are the only REAL Americans although they don't seem to understand the principles of the country.

[WinkyDink]

17. Exactly. This was all a cockamamie set-up to say, "Hillary = UnAmerican."

[William769]

13. She is smart!

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

14. Ha hahahahahahahahaha

*gasp* heeheeeheeeheeeheee*snort* hoooooowheeee*chuckle* hahahahahahahhahahahahaha

[madaboutharry]

15. Jason Miller is exceptionally stupid.

I saw him on CNN yesterday morning and Alison Camerota literally laughed in his face. She was confronting him about things Trump should apologize for and Miller kept spinning pretzel logic. She actually laughed at him. That man is a fool.

[Cracklin Charlie]

16. Lady in that pic doesn't look like Ms Trump.

Or, is the picture of wax museum figures?

[WinkyDink]

18. They levelled her eyes. :-)

[The Wizard]

19. They really need professional counselling

That or one of the wonderful Fleet products available at drugstores and supermarkets everywhere.

[BrainMann1]

21. All I can say is you are right.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

20. To have a house even Liberace would consider tacky?

[Vinca]

22. Every time I see a picture of that kid I feel sorry for him.

Look at his toy cars. No Matchbox for him . . . he's got toy limos. He looks so sad on his outrageously expensive stuffed toy. I wonder if he's ever worn a pair of jeans or picked up a frog. That's about as far from a typical American family as you can get.

[Delmette]

24. The boy looks so sad.

He isn't included next to his parents and is to old to be playing on a toy lion. He looks like he wants to be somewhere else.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

23. Translation: They support African Americans too much!

I bet that's how many Trump supporters will interpret it.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

25. Trump doesn't do retail politics. He'd never use a folding chair & study.

[saltpoint]

26. Nice photo of a typical American

family wearing everyday attire in a typical American living room.

[athena]

30. It's totally photoshopped.

I don't think they're actually in the room together.

[saltpoint]

31. Oh. I didn't know. The stuffed lion

looks like the smartest of the bunch, though.

[athena]

32. I could be wrong.

It just looks totally wrong to me. The colors don't look right.

[saltpoint]

33. Yep. Photoshopped or not, the image

does not suggest 'empathy for working class people.'

[C_U_L8R]

27. The Clintons were our First Family for eight great years

It doesn't get any more American than that.

[alcibiades_mystery]

28. I heard Hillary Clinton was born in Kenya

Lots of people are saying it on web sites.

[displacedtexan]

29. You know what they say about history...

...there's a right side and a wrong side to be on when it's written.

The wrong side of the Trump episode will be a ponderous list, indeed.

[BlueWarrior]

34. And Donnie Chump is not the self-made man he portrays

Donnie Chump was born into a family whos wealth and influence was only rivaled by the Kennedy Family. Everything Donnie Chump has obtained was because of his inheritance from dear ol' Daddy Chump

[milestogo]

35. I look forward to Trump being a national laughingstock for the rest of his life.

[pansypoo53219]

36. i bet his fans believe all he says.

i bet the brat can't wait to kill a lion.
