https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/jun/22/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-corrupt-person-presidentDonald Trump savaged his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton on Wednesday, claiming she “may be the most corrupt person ever to seek the presidency” as he sought to paint himself as a steward of the working class and a political outsider with the vision to fix a “rigged” system.
One day after Clinton delivered a blistering assault on her opponent’s record as a businessman, Trump returned fire , leveling a litany of attacks against the former secretary of state.
“The choice in this election is a choice between taking our government back from the special interests, or surrendering our last scrap of independence to their total and complete control,” Trump said in a speech delivered from the chandelier ballroom of the Trump Soho hotel in New York.
In his 45-minute address, Trump reprised many of the same concerns conservatives and other detractors have long expressed about Clinton, over her trustworthiness and personal ethics. He blamed Clinton for destabilizing the Middle East and spreading “death, destruction and terrorism” as secretary of state. He also accused her and Bill Clinton of helping strengthen the Chinese economy through their support of “disastrous” trade deals that he said helped triggered an exodus of America’s “best jobs” abroad.
