Donald Trump not qualified to be president : Hillary Clinton

Story highlights

• Hillary Clinton spoke with CNN Thursday for an exclusive interview in Chicago
• She said Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump was not qualified to be president

(CNN)Hillary Clinton labeled her Republican rival Donald Trump "divisive and dangerous" and "unmoored" on Thursday, saying his recent behavior shows he's not qualified to be president.

The Democratic presidential front-runner unleashed her sharpest attacks yet on Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee, in an exclusive interview with CNN's Chris Cuomo in Park Ridge, Illinois.

She pointed to Trump's attacks on British politicians, his willingness to speak with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, his call for the United States to back away from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and his assertion that more countries should have nuclear weapons, and said it "adds up to a very troubling picture."

"I know how hard this job is, and I know that we need steadiness as well as strength and smarts in it, and I have concluded he is not qualified to be president of the United States," Clinton said.

When asked whether Trump was qualified in April, Clinton told CNN's Jake Tapper, "Well, the voters will have to decide. I'm going to lay out my qualifications to be president."

Donald Trump: Missing EgyptAir Aircraft 'Blown out of the Sky'

EgyptAir flight 804 has yet to be found -- nor has a reason for its disappearance been released -- but Donald Trump is convinced he knows why the Cairo-bound aircraft went missing this morning.

"A plane got blown out of the sky," the presumptive Republican presidential nominee said at a fundraiser in Lawrenceville, N.J., tonight. "And if anything, if anybody thinks it wasn’t blown out of the sky, you are 100 percent wrong, folks. OK? You're 100 percent wrong."

Trump made the unsubstantiated claim while slamming Hillary Clinton for her apparent reluctance to use the term "radical Islamicterrorism."

"We had a terrible tragedy, and she said that Donald Trump talked about radical Islamic terrorism -- which she doesn't want to use," Trump said. "She used a different term, because she does not want to use that term, She refuses to use that term."

Trump first attributed the EgyptAir flight's disappearance to terrorism several hours before the fundraiser, tweeting, "Looks like yet another terrorist attack. Airplane departed from Paris. When will we get tough, smart and vigilant? Great hate and sickness!"

Trump, though, may be taking a cue from Egyptian officials. As ABC News previously reported, Egyptian officials have suggested that the incident was more likely caused by terrorism than a technical problem.

“I don’t want to go to assumptions like others, but if you analyze the situation properly, the possibility...of having a terror attack is higher than having a technical" failure, the Egyptian aviation minister told reporters today.
