Hillary Clinton delivered on a promise to rail against Donald Trump’s capacity to handle economic policy decisions during her Tuesday afternoon speech in Ohio. The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee made repeated references to Trump’s debt issues, bankruptcy filings, and lack of serious policy proposals—ultimately suggesting the likely Republican nominee would bring about a recession if elected. “Donald Trump has said he’s qualified to be president because of his business record,” Clinton said. “A few days ago, he said, and I quote, ‘I’m going to do for the country what I did for my business.’ So let’s take a look at what he did for his business: He’s written a lot of books about business—they all seem to end at Chapter 11,” she jabbed. “Over the years, he intentionally ran up huge amounts of debt on his companies and then he defaulted. He bankrupted his companies not once, not twice, but four times. Hundreds of people lost their jobs; shareholders were wiped out; contractors, many of them small businesses, took heavy losses; many went bust. But Donald Trump, he came out fine.”
