Clinton also commented about a recent CBS News/New York Times poll showing her tied with the billionaire nationally at 40 percent each.
The presumptive Democratic nominee said that the poll reflected the beginning of the campaign.
"There is a lot of fear in our country, and when Americans are worried they're looking for answers," Clinton told Rose. "He's providing simplistic, easy answers. 'Let's make America great again,' which means basically, 'We'll go back to the way it was, and whoever you are out there, it will be better.' That is a wrong-headed view of history."
She added, "Part of it is seeking this job at this time of fear, anxiety, discouragement, rejectionism that is, unfortunately, part of our political environment right now. And I hope by the time we have this election, it will be clear to voters who they can count on."
The Democratic National Convention begins in Philadelphia next Monday.
