The war of words between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump intensified on Wednesday as Ms. Clinton accused the Republican presumptive presidential nominee of “scamming” the American people after he got embroiled in a fresh ‘Trump University’ controversy.
“He [Trump] is trying to scam America the way he scammed all those people at Trump University. It’s important that we recognise what he has done, because that’s usually a pretty good indicator of what he will do,” Ms. Clinton said at an election rally in New Jersey.
“Today, we’re learning about another scam: the so-called Trump University. The New York Attorney General is suing Donald Trump for fraud,” she alleged.
Trump University scam “And his own employees testified — I want you to hear this — his own employees testified that Trump U — you can’t make this up, that Trump U was a fraudulent scheme where Donald Trump enriched himself at the expense of hardworking people,” she said.
“Trump and his employees took advantage of vulnerable Americans, encouraging them to max out their credit cards, empty their retirement savings, destroy their financial futures, all while making promises they knew were false from the beginning. This is just more evidence that Donald Trump himself is a fraud,” Ms. Clinton said. In documents released this week from one of the three pending lawsuits against Trump University, former employees have described the now-defunct business as a “fraudulent scheme” and “total lie” that “preyed upon the elderly and uneducated”.
Meanwhile, unleashing a new round of attack against Ms. Clinton, Mr. Trump said that she has “no natural talent” to be the U.S. President.
E-mail scandal
Referring to the e-mail scandal of the former Secretary of State, Mr. Trump said she should not be allowed to run. “Honestly, she should not be allowed to run. It’s a disgrace to the laws of our country. “I’ll tell you what. She doesn’t know what the hell she’s doing.
It’s going to be another four years of disaster,” he said, adding voters would probably be “better off” with Bernie Sanders as their President. “But that’s not going to happen,” he said.
