Hillary’s New ‘Bad Businessman’ Video Goes After Trump’s Financial Past

Hillary Clinton’s campaign released a Web video attacking Donald Trump’s past business endeavors and predicting immense economic fallout if his policies were implemented.

The new attack ad came on the same day as Clinton’s speech in Ohio hitting many of the same themes.

The video highlights some of his more infamous business failures. The lengthy list is presented by some of Trump’s most vocal opponents from both political parties, featuring a clip of Marco Rubio asking “ever heard of Trump Steaks? Trump Vodka? All of these companies that he’s ruined!” at a GOP debate.

Bipartisan criticism continues throughout the video, with quotes on Trump’s economic ideas from prominent news publications. Many sources cite his threats to default on the national debt, and a recent article from the Fiscal Times suggests Trump would risk the “full faith and credit” of the U.S. 

After a segment in which Trump confesses that “I am the king of debt. I do love debt… I love playing with it”, the video suggests that Trump wants to do the same with the U.S. economy.

Launched in tandem with the video was a new website, The Art of the Steal. While many of the Manhattan mogul’s projects have resulted in him “winning” and pocketing millions, they have also left numerous investors and employees penniless, with the phrase “you’re fired” ringing in their ears.
