Following Donald Trump’s economic speech on Monday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), one of Trump’s most vocal critics in the Senate, tore into the Republican nominee’s proposals on Twitter.
She charged that Trump’s plan was written by wealthy advisers and will benefit rich Americans the most.
.@realDonaldTrump‘s econ plan was written by rich corporate insider advisors to make the economy even greater for rich corporate insiders.

.@realDonaldTrump‘s economics plan is all about helping rich guys like Donald Trump get richer – & leaving everyone else behind.

The American people aren’t dumb, @realDonaldTrump. We don’t trust you with our nuclear codes AND we don’t trust you with our economy.

In particular, Warren went after Trump’s call for a moratorium on financial regulations.
“Cut regulations massively,” @realDonaldTrump? No rules & no accountability means people get ripped off & markets blow up. Remember 2008?
— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) August 8, 2016
A “moratorium” on agency regulations means stopping new rules on shady payday lenders & too-big-to-fail banks, @realDonaldTrump.
— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) August 8, 2016
W/o rules, @realDonaldTrump, too many huge banks juiced profits by cheating ppl on mortgages, credit cards, etc, then crashed our economy.

She also bashed his proposal for tax cuts.
And taxes? @realDonaldTrump wants billionaires & giant corps to pay EVEN LESS – so there’s less money for ed, infrastructure & research.
— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) August 8, 2016
Even @realDonaldTrump‘s childcare plan gives billionaires w/ a nanny a tax break while millions of low-income households get nothing.

Warren has been going after Trump on Twitter and in speeches for months, once calling him a “thin-skinned, racist bully.” Trump has fired back, labeling Warren “goofy” and mocking her past comments on her Native American heritage by calling her “Pocahantas.”
