“In stark contrast, Donald Trump is hiding behind fake excuses and backtracking on his previous promises to release his tax returns”.
In Michigan Thursday, Hillary Clinton said her plan offers economic opportunity and good-paying jobs, and she said, “In America, if you can dream it, you should be able to build it”.
“Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine continue to set the standard for financial transparency”, Clinton campaign communication director Jennifer Palmieri said Friday.

Trump has claimed that he can not release tax returns because he is being audited.
“He may talk a big game on trade, but his approach is based on fear, not strength”, she said, adding a reference moments later to Olympic athletes: “If Team USA was as fearful as Trump, Michael Phelps and Simone Biles would be cowering in the locker room”.

“He was the founder of ISIS, absolutely”, says Trump, blaming the president for his decision to withdraw troops, which some argue created a power vacuum in which extremist groups like IS thrive.
Trump now claims that he was opposed to the Iraq War from the beginning, despite evidence to the contrary.
