Related: About this forumUSA TODAY interview: Clinton says she'll call Trump unfit to handle economy
Heidi M Przybyla, USA TODAY 12:30 a.m. EDT June 16, 2016
snip-------------------
Earlier this month in San Diego, Clinton delivered a blistering speech that cast Trump as too dangerous to serve as the nations commander in chief due to his proposed temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States, lack of foreign policy knowledge and his temperament. She's continued those attacks in the days following Sunday's Orlando nightclub massacre, the worst mass shooting in U.S. history.
In a speech in Columbus next Wednesday, Clinton said she will make "a similar case on the economy that I did on foreign policy: that Donald Trump is erratic and temperamentally unfit to be responsible for the world's largest economy."
Clinton pointed to one example of Trump's "incoherent" economic argument by noting that the billionaire has built his populist appeal around leveling the playing field for lower-income Americans, even though she said his tax plan gives a $3 trillion break to millionaires and billionaires over the next 10 years.
She pointed out that his proposal would lower rates for hedge-fund and private equity managers by creating a new, lower 15% bracket. "They would actually see their carried interest rate cut by one-third, making the loophole worse rather than closing it," she said. Previewing her speech next week, she said, "He's either completely incoherent or he hasn't thought one bit about his plan."

(146,333 posts)4. Trump's business strategy has always been simple: Loot & Pillage
He simply takes everything he can from a business, and then bankrupts it. That's how he does business. Who would believe that he could manage the U. S. economy as President. Could he bankrupt the nation and loot it as it falls? Why, yes, he could.
Nobody should ever trust that man to manage any enterprise, much less the United States of America. It is simply unthinkable.
