In addition, Clinton said President Trump ran "the first reality TV campaign", and was the first "reality TV candidate".

"If you watch reality TV, you know it means that the person who is the most outrageous, the person who says the politically incorrect things, the person who's insulting and attacking drives big ratings, and I think part of what happened in the election is almost an attraction that many people had to the role that was being played by him as the candidate for president," said Clinton.
