Hillary Clinton is going after Donald Trump's business record, telling union members Monday in Detroit that he "could bankrupt America like he's bankrupted his companies."
Speaking at an SEIU convention, Clinton warned that "Trump Economics is a recipe for lower wages, fewer jobs, more debt. He could bankrupt America like he's bankrupted his companies. I mean, ask yourself, how could anybody lose money running a casino, really?" Trump's companies have filed for bankruptcy four times; the presumptive Republican nominee has said he never filed for personal bankruptcy, and as a businessman, used bankruptcy laws to his advantage.
Clinton has brought up Trump's business acumen and wealth a few times in recent days, including during an appearance Sunday on Meet the Press; Clinton said Trump should release his tax returns, suggesting they could show he's not as rich as he claims.
