| Clinton: 'king of debt' Trump would rig economy for Wall Street – campaign live | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| 5.38pm BST | |
| 17:38 | |
| Fifth, Trump on trade. | |
| Clinton says “we should renegotiate trade deals that aren’t working” and reject new deals such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership.” | |
| And here Clinton sounds like Trump: | |
| When China dumps cheap steel.. or manipulates currency, we need to respond forcefully.” | |
| 5.37pm BST | |
| 17:37 | |
| Clinton: the USA 'doesn’t do business Trump’s way' | |
| Clinton runs through what she says are the main weaknesses of Trump’s economic plan. | |
| First, there’s his plan for Wall Street. | |
| He says he wants to wipe out the tough rules we put on banks... he also wants to repeal the consumer financial protection bureau [Senator Warren’s watchdog agency]. Trump would take us back to where we were before the crisis. He’d rig the economy for Wall Street again. Well that will not happen on my watch, I can guarantee you.” | |
| Clinton says she would veto any effort to roll back financial regulations and seek to strengthen them. | |
| Second, his approach to the national debt. | |
| “He calls himself the king of debt and his tax plan lives up to the name.” | |
| Clinton cites a study showing Trump’s tax plan would drive up the debt by trillions. She quotes him saying, “I would borrow, knowing if the economy crashed, you could make a deal.” | |
| The full faith and credit of the United States is not something we just gamble away,” Clinton says. “That could cause an economic catastrophe. And it would break 225 years of ironclad trust that the American economy has with AMericans and with the rest of the world. Alexander Hamilton would be rolling in his grave. You see we pay our debts.” | |
| She quotes Ronald Reagan about America’s reputation. | |
| Maybe Donald feels differently because he made a fortune filing bankruptcies and stiffing creditors. But the United States of America doesn’t do business Trump’s way. And it matters when a candidate talks like this.... even suggesting that the United States would default would cause a global panic. | |
| She says Trump’s plan to print money is like Germany in the 20s or Zimbabwe in the 90s. “It drove inflation through the roof and crippled the economy. The AMerican dollar is the safest currency on the planet. Why would he want to mess with that? We can’t let these loose careless remarks get any credence.” | |
| Third, Trump’s tax plan. | |
| Clinton starts playfullly: | |
| You know when I was working on this speech... I’d have my researchers send me information, and then I’d say, really? He really said that? And they’d send me all the background... so here it goes. | |
| Clinton says Trump would give millionaires a $3t tax cut. Corporations would get $2t more dollars. Before releasing his plan, Trump said hedge fund-ers would pay more. But his plan “makes the current loophole even worse,” Clinton says. | |
| Trump would get a tax cut under his plan, Clinton says: | |
| But we don’t know exactly how much because he won’t release his tax returns. Every major presidential candidate in the last four decades has shown the American people their taxes... | |
| You have to ask yourself, what’s he afraid of? Maybe that he hasn’t paid taxes on his huge income? ... Or maybe he isn’t as rich as he claims? Or that he hasn’t given away as much to charity that he brags about. | |
| Whatever the reasons, Americans deserve to know before you cast your votes this November. | |
| Fourth, Trump on jobs. | |
| Clinton says Trump’s deportation and wall-construction policy could cause a recession. | |
| “This policy is not only wrong-headed and unachievable, it is really bad economics.” She says expelling 11m people would cost a lot and shrink the economy. | |
| 5.27pm BST | |
| 17:27 | |
| Clinton: 'Trump would throw us back into recession' | |
| Economists of all political stripes agree, Clinton says: “Trump would throw us back into recession.” | |
| She says a former McCain economic adviser estimated Trump’s policies would increase unemployment and debt and tank the stock market. | |
| Clinton: | |
| Every day we see how reckless and careless Trump is. He’s proud of it. Well that’s his choice. Except when he’s asking to be our president. Then it’s our choice. | |
| Donald Trump actually stood on a debate stage ....and said that wages are too high in this country... he said and I quote, having a low minimum wage is not a bad thing for this country... | |
| Back in 2006... Trump said... “I sort of hope that the housing market crashes” because he’d make money off of all the foreclosures. | |
| ...He has said all kinds of things about women in the workforce. [Calling women employees “an inconvenience”.] | |
| “He clearly doesn’t know much about how we have grown the economy over the last 40 years, which is largely thanks to women getting into the workforce and adding to family incomes.” | |
| Clinton says that abolishing Obamacare, as Trump wishes to do, would hurt families and the economy. | |
| 5.21pm BST | |
| 17:21 | |
| Clinton: Trump 'shouldn’t have his hands on our economy' | |
| Clinton: | |
| Today I want to talk about what Donald Trump is promising to do to the economy. After more than a year it’s important that he be held accountable for what he says he’ll do as president. | |
| A few weeks ago I said his foreign policy proposals and reckless statements represent a danger to the national security... it turns out, he’s dangerous [in business and the economy] too. | |
| Just like he shouldn’t have his finger on the button, he shouldn’t have his hands on our economy. | |
| 5.18pm BST | |
| 17:18 | |
| Clinton takes a swipe at Trump. She says her web site summarizes her economic plan, and: | |
| I do admit, it is a little wonky, but I have this old-fashioned idea that if you’re running for president, you should say what you want to do, how you’re going to pay for it and how you’ll get it done. | |
| I actually sweat the specifics because they matter. | |
| 5.16pm BST | |
| 17:16 | |
| Clinton says that people are working harder to stay ahead of “everyday costs” while college is getting more expensive, wages are too low and inequality is too great. | |
| She says that America can overcome the problems together. “We are stronger and better positioned than anyone in the world to build the future that you and your children deserve.” | |
| 5.13pm BST | |
| 17:13 | |
| Clinton notes it’s her first speech as a grandmother of two. “It was an exciting weekend,” she deadpans. “Chelsea and Mark had a little boy and we are just truly over the moon.” | |
| Aidan Clinton Mezvinsky was born on Saturday. | |
| 5.11pm BST | |

| After all that braggadocio, it's pretty clear @realDonaldTrump doesn't have the $$ to fund his campaign, and is having trouble raising it. | |
