Martha Stewart took a jab at Donald Trump while throwing her official support behind Hillary Clinton.
During an interview on Sunday on CNN Money, the 75-year-old home entrepreneur and business mogul made it clear she will not be supporting the Republican presidential nominee in what she called “the most important election of the last hundred years.” (RELATED: Martha Stewart Has A Message For Millennials)

“We have to be very certain that we elect a person who has experience, knowledge, a base of education in the world of world politics, as well as domestic politics, and so obviously I’m voting for Hillary Clinton,” Stewart said. “We just can’t have a country run by someone who is totally unprepared for what comes.”(RELATED: Martha Stewart: ‘Orange Is The New Black’ ‘Not As Good As The Real Thing’)
“There is so much to know and so much to learn and so much diplomacy and kindness and introspection that goes with that kind of job,” she added. “And it does not exist in the world of Donald Trump.”
In the past Stewart has spoken about how Trump used the reality hit show “Apprentice” to build a platform to run for president.
“I was supposed to fire him on air,” she said. “That was Mark Burnett’s idea. That’s why I agreed to do ‘Martha Stewart: Apprentice.’ And then Donald liked it too much.”
“Look at him, it’s been fantastic for him,” she added. “It’s built him a platform, so now he thinks he can be president.”
