On April 13 (local time), Clinton, during an interview with the U.S. program "MS NOW," targeted President Trump, stating, "He must be held accountable not only for his actions, but also for his words." Previously, President Trump had posted on social media that "an entire civilization could disappear" in reference to Iran, criticized Pope Leo XIV, and shared an artificial intelligence (AI) image depicting himself as Jesus Christ.

Clinton emphasized, "In particular, the words of an American president can have real consequences," adding, "Looking at the stream of deranged rants posted on Trump's social media account over the past week, it's truly pathetic. Threatening the annihilation of a civilization and intimidating the Pope are outrageous acts."

She further remarked, "President Trump and Vice President JD Vance keep talking endlessly about Western civilization, but it seems they've never actually taken a single class on the subject." She continued, "The United States is a product of centuries of Western civilization's development. The important issue is how to ensure that leaders do not become dictators and do not engage in reckless wars or deranged attacks against the Pope."

As Secretary of State under the Obama administration, Clinton was responsible for U.S. diplomacy and on this day also evaluated the Trump administration's diplomatic approach. Regarding the breakdown of ceasefire negotiations with Iran, she said, "This is a difficult task. It's not something you can just go to Geneva or Islamabad, talk for a few hours, and then leave," emphasizing, "Diplomacy requires a great deal of effort and systematic work."

She added, "However, the Trump administration lacks both the will and the ability to do so," directly pointing at Vice President Vance, White House Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, saying, "Because they just keep sending the same people around the world." She criticized, "It's absurd that Kushner and Witkoff are expected to resolve the issues of Ukraine, Iran, and Gaza all at once."

Clinton was the Democratic candidate in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, running against Republican candidate President Trump, but she was defeated.
