Clinton said she would stand up to China and any other country who “tries to take advantage of American workers and companies”. On Friday, his office confirmed that Clinton also halted his business dealings with GEMS Education past year.

The Clinton campaign has used Trump’s refusal to release the documents to raise questions about the candidate’s business dealings, including whether Trump would benefit from the tax plan he pitched during a speech in Detroit on August 8. He’s inarticulate and as a businessman he pulled some questionable stunts (Trump University and trying to kick an old woman out of her home come to mind), but the media embarrasses itself when it invents controversies from someone who doesn’t need the help.
Clinton described Trump’s plans as “Just a more extreme version of the failed theory of trickle-down economics with his own addition of outlandish Trumpian ideas that even Republicans reject”, while painting Trump’s dark rhetoric as fearful and divorced from reality.

She said she was exhausted of Americans being sold trade deals which painted rosy scenarios and then resulted in factories closing and jobs disappearing.
Trump continued, “Our current tax code is so burdensome and complex that we waste 9 billion hours a year in tax code compliance”.
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has widened her lead over her Republican rival Donald Trump in key battleground states, according to a latest opinion poll.
“The tax cuts he doubled down on in his speech in Detroit on Monday offered trillions to the richest Americans and corporations”. The new position would be supplemented by tripling the number of trade enforcement officers, she said. It was given to counter Trump’s economic plan, which he had not yet discussed in detail.
