Clinton's speech in California will focus on Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, and his supposed lack of national-security credentials. Trump, in turn, has questioned Clinton's fitness for the position of commander in chief.
He spread his tweet attacks out throughout the day:
Crooked Hillary Clinton has zero natural talent - she should not be president. Her temperament is bad and her decision making ability-zilch!

Bernie Sanders was right when he said that Crooked Hillary Clinton was not qualified to be president because she suffers from BAD judgement!

With all of the Crooked Hillary Clinton's foreign policy experience, she has made so many mistakes - and I mean real monsters! No more HRC.

Crooked Hillary Clinton, who I would love to call Lyin' Hillary, is getting ready to totally misrepresent my foreign policy positions.

Clinton, the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination, plans to cast Trump as different from any other nominee in recent history and "fundamentally unfit" for the role of commander in chief.
Republicans joined Trump in attacking Clinton over foreign policy on Thursday - the party released a memo headlined, "Hillary Clinton: A Disaster For US National Security." A line at the top of the memo reads, "A Failure As Secretary Of State Who Defends The Weak Obama Administration Foreign Policy Cannot Be Trusted With Our Security."
The memo quoted a series of news articles about Clinton's foreign policy and defined "top takeaways," including Clinton's refusal to "categorize the terrorist threat as 'radical Islam,'" Clinton's support of President Barack Obama's nuclear deal with Iran that "legitimizes and empowers" the "hostile" nation, and Clinton's support for the US military intervention in Libya, which it said is now "a safe haven for terrorists and has become an ISIS stronghold."
