Hillary Clinton on Tuesday warned that Donald Trump‘s economic proposals would plunge the U.S. into a recession, portraying the presumptive Republican nominee as unfit to manage the economy.
“Liberals and conservatives say Trump’s ideas would be disastrous,” the Democrat said in Columbus, Ohio. “The Chamber of Commerce and labor unions. Mitt Romney and Elizabeth Warren, economists on the right, the left and the center all agree: Trump would throw us back into recession.”
“Trump would take us back to where we were before the crisis. He’d rig the economy for Wall Street again,” she added. “That will not happen on my watch, I guarantee you.”
Clinton’s speech was aimed squarely at one of the Republican’s biggest strengths: his business background. A Gallup poll earlier this month found 53 percent of voters would prefer Trump as president when it comes to the economy, compared with 43 percent who would prefer Clinton, making it one of the few areas where Trump has a distinct advantage.
She sought to close that gap in her speech, arguing at length that Trump’s success in the business world isn’t what it seems.
