Clinton hits Trump at core: his poor business record that could roil US economy
‘Don’t let him role the dice with our children’s future’, Democratic flag-bearer cautions voters
Hillary Clinton on Tuesday targeted her White House rival Donald Trump’s very rationale for being a competent president, painting the provocative billionaire as a “dangerous” and manipulative businessman who would sink the US economy.
The Democratic flag-bearer’s comprehensive condemnation of Trump’s business dealings came as the presumptive Republican nominee revealed unprecedented financial deficits heading into his general election push, the latest of several setbacks and self-inflicted wounds that have plunged his campaign into disarray.
We can’t let him bankrupt America like we are one of his failed casinos
Clinton piled on in her speech in Ohio, an important swing state, where she argued that Trump’s lack of a plan to bring back manufacturing and other jobs could yank the nation back into recession.
We can’t let him bankrupt America like we are one of his failed casinos,“ she thundered in Columbus. ”We can’t let him roll the dice with our children’s futures.“
By laying into Trump’s corporate empire, Clinton aimed to disarm her rival’s potent claim that he can translate his business acumen into Oval Office success.
“He’s written a lot of books about business. They all seem to end at chapter 11,” she quipped, referring to the US legal code that addresses bankruptcy and reorganisation.
