Then once it was time to pivot, Trump shifted the focus and attacked Clinton as well as her husband for the fortune they have amassed since leaving the White House, “Together she and Bill made $153 million giving speeches to lobbyists, CEO, and foreign governments in the years since 2001”.
After presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton spent the better part of an hour lambasting her Republican counterpart, Donald Trump, for his economic policies Tuesday, Trump returned the favor Wednesday with a 45-minute harangue accusing her of personal corruption and worse.
The endorsements announced by Clinton’s campaign follow two days of campaign events meant to discredit Trump as unscrupulous and greedy in business, while presenting Clinton’s economic framework in contrast. That’s a quote credited to John Wesley, the founder of Methodism. Richard Armitage, who served in the State and Defense Departments under George W. Bush and President Ronald Reagan, announced last week that he will vote for Clinton over Trump.
Trump, in an interview on “CBS This Morning”, said “All the money (Clinton) is raising is blood money”.
As many news outlets have pointed out, both Trump and Clinton suffer from historical lows when it comes to measures of favorability. In a press release from the campaign, former General Motors CEO Dan Akerson said Trump lacked the leadership, judgment, and temperament to be commander-in-chief, while AT&T senior executive vice president Jim Cicconi said a Trump presidency “would set our Nation on a very dark path”.
Tease: Donald Trump questioned Hillary Clinton’s plans for immigration and refugee resettlement, and said his Democratic rival “may be the most corrupt person ever to seek the presidency”.
In her speech on Wednesday, Mrs Clinton said, “I think it’s an understatement to say Americans face a choice in November”. So all he can do is try to distract us.
Trump said Clinton was sleeping “soundly” in her bed as a deadly attack unfolded in Benghazi, Libya, in 2012 in which four Americans were killed.
“It’s very clear that none of us are going to work for Trump”, Smith said. “Well, here’s what I want you to know: I do have a jobs program, and as President I’m going to make sure that you hear ‘You’re hired'”.

In the past, Clinton has addressed her religious beliefs and she once described her faith as being the background music of her life.
