What the hell is he doing here? Clinton said. He don't belong here.
| |  |  | | with Josh Hafner | | OnPolitics Today: Trump's a 'creep,' weirdo, Clinton says |  | | You remember Hillary Clinton? The twice-failed presidential candidate has kept a relatively low profile since November, save hikes in the woods and unpaid T-shirt modeling. Maybe that's because Clinton's been living rent-free inside the head of President Trump, who still tweets regularly about his supposedly former rival. | | Now Clinton's about to release a memoir, this time about her campaign, and that means drama-filled excerpts in the press. In the book, Clinton describes how her "skin crawled" as Trump lurked weirdly behind her during a presidential debate last fall.
"Do you stay calm, keep smiling and carry on as if he weren't repeatedly invading your space?" Clinton says. "Or do you turn, look him in the eye, and say loudly and clearly, 'Back up, you creep.'" | | Also on Wednesday: Trump followed his incendiary rally in Arizona with a speech calling for unity, while his science envoy calls for Congress to "IMPEACH." | | It's OnPolitics Today, USA TODAY's daily politics roundup.

And yes, that headline's a Radiohead reference. | Trump: We must all unite, except for journalists and my political enemies | | Trump gave a measured and well-received speech in Reno, Nev., on Wednesday, praising the American Legion's "bonds of loyalty" that the nation needs in order to seek unity again. It looked nothing like his speech in Phoenix the day prior , when Trump ranted and unloaded on Arizona Sens. John McCain (himself a veteran) and Jeff Flake as well as journalists who cover him. James Clapper, the former head of national intelligence, called that speech "disturbing," questioning Trump's "fitness to be in this office." | Latest resignation letter to Trump spells 'IMPEACH' | | Last week, members of Trump's arts committee resigned en masse, leaving a resignation letter in which the first letter of every paragraph spelled out "RESIST." On Wednesday, the State Department's science envoy quit over Trump's "failure to condemn white supremacists and neo-Nazis." His letter spelled out a call to charge Trump: "IMPEACH." | It's shutdown season in Washington | | As certain as summer turns to fall, lawmakers will again push America to the brink of a shutdown. Congress needs to agree on spending levels for 2018's fiscal year, or else it's lights off in October. Trump's OK with the shutdown happening, saying he'd force one over funding for his "big, beautiful wall." All that has rattled stock markets. And those fears will worsen if Congress fails to raise the debt ceiling and runs out of cash this fall. | Elsewhere in politics | | | | | MOST SHARED USA TODAY STORIES | | | | | | | | | | | | | | FOLLOW US Thank you for subscribing to On Politics. © 2017 USA TODAY, a division of Gannett Satellite Information Network, LLC.
