Clinton’s positon on trade has been a frequent attack line for Trump.
The Chamber has in the past hit Clinton and Sanders for failing to offer broad enough support for free trade.
Trump, in a tweet Wednesday, said the Chamber “must fight harder for the American worker”.
“Despite much of the rhetoric we have heard out on the campaign trail, the next president should understand that selling more American-made goods and services around the world is one of the best ways to spur economic growth, support small businesses, create good-paying American jobs, and keep the United States one step ahead of its worldwide competitors”. Critics have assailed her over her handling of emails and a 2012 attack on a US mission in Libya while secretary of state.
Donald Trump is outlining steps he would take to bring back American jobs and address past trade deals, which he says have hurt the USA economy.
The speech comes as Trump, facing sliding poll numbers and a far larger Clinton operation, is working to re-tool his message for the general election.
Democratic President Barack Obama won both states in 2008 and 2012, but manufacturing job losses have led to voter anxiety in the region. He is also ahead by the same margin with white voters, while Clinton wins African-American voters, 91 percent to 1 percent, and Hispanic voters, 50 percent to 33 percent.
The real estate mogul refused to disavow an endorsement from former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke – first by pretending to not know who Duke is, and then blaming a “lousy earpiece” for his silence in a TV interview.
While large, boisterous rallies remain Trump’s signature campaign setting – the mogul held one Tuesday night in eastern OH – he is giving structured policy talks more frequently. Attitudes were slightly worse among Cruz supporters, among whom 45 percent viewed the party favorably with 36 percent holding an unfavorable view.
Quite why you think it appropriate to write emails to United Kingdom parliamentarians with a begging bowl for your father’s repugnant campaign is completely beyond me.
“And they don’t think either candidate would be a good president”, Quinnipiac poll assistant director Tim Malloy said in a statement. “Never forget that”, Trump said.
Trump also pledged to revive the United States steel and aluminum industry, speaking at an aluminum scrap company in Monessen, Pennsylvania, almost 50km south of Pittsburgh, the one-time American steelmaking capital. “Hillary Clinton understands we need adjustment in southeast OH”, he said. The poll shows her leading by just two points, by 42 per cent to 40 per cent. He’s also winning with voters between 50 and 64 years old, and older than 65. Another 34 percent say it has had no impact. For example, voters find Trump more trustworthy than his Democratic rival, but voters also believe Clinton has higher moral standards.
