During a Thursday rally in Des Moines, Iowa, Hillary Clinton blasted Donald Trump for bragging about “gaming the system” and not paying taxes.
“He spends all of his time just dumping on America,” Clinton said. “But then it’s probably true that he hasn’t paid a penny in federal taxes.”
Clinton mentioned Trump’s refusal to release his tax returns during Monday night’s first presidential debate, saying that he may be doing so because he hasn’t paid federal income taxes. In response, Trump argued that not paying those taxes makes him “smart.” He later denied saying that he has never paid federal income taxes.
“If not paying taxes makes him smart, what does that make the rest of us?” Clinton asked the crowd in Iowa on Thursday.
The Democratic nominee also knocked Trump for rooting for the housing crisis in the hopes that he could make money off of it. She also criticized his business practices, saying that there is a “long list of people who have been mistreated” by Trump.
Clinton spent much of her speech talking about her plans for the economy, calling for a higher minimum wage, affordable college tuition and federal investment in child care.
Toward the end of the speech, she emphasized that she will be practicing for her next debate against Trump.
“I have no idea what he’s gonna say the next time,” she said. “But I will spend some time preparing for it.”
Is it wrong to feel Schadenfreude over the Shady Orange Fraud?.
Well, in Trump’s line of work, I believe we would be known as “marks,” “gulls,” and “suckers.”
And rubes
