A toned down, but no less bombastic Donald Trump took to a lectern Wednesday in New York City to slam Hillary Clinton, dismissing her political accomplishments and calling her a “world-class liar.”
The charged rhetoric comes a day after Clinton delivered a scorching speech about Trump’s business competence and just weeks ahead of next month’s Democratic and Republican Conventions, where both candidates are expected to be nominated by their respective parties for president.
From CNN:
The spending raised eyebrows among campaign finance experts and some of Mr. Trump’s critics who have questioned whether the presumptive Republican nominee, who points to his business acumen as a case for his candidacy, is trying to do what he has suggested he would in 2000 when he mulled making an independent run: “It’s very possible that I could be the first presidential candidate to run and make money on it.”
“He could end up turning a profit if he repaid himself for the campaign loans,” said Paul S. Ryan, a campaign finance expert with the Campaign Legal Center. “He could get all his money back plus the profit margin for what his campaign has paid himself for goods and services.”
What do you think of Trump’s self-funding campaign, and his attacks on Clinton? Sound off in comments.
