Democratic Senator Warren calls Trump 'lousy businessman'
US Senator Elizabeth Warren has intensified her attacks against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, calling him “a lousy businessman.”
Warren, a Democratic senator from Massachusetts and former Harvard Law School professor, has joined a group of Democrats demanding Trump publicly release his tax returns, implying that the New York businessman is lying about his true business value.
“Maybe he’s just a lousy businessman who doesn’t want you to find out he’s worth a whole lot less than he claims. We really can’t know for sure,” Warren said in a video appeared on MoveOn.org.
After endorsing presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton last month, Warren slammed Trump’s ethics, calling him “a small, insecure money-grubber.”
“What kind of a man roots for people to lose their jobs, lose their homes, lose their life savings? I’ll tell you what kind of a man: a small, insecure money-grubber who fights for no one other than himself,” she said.
“What kind of a man? A nasty man who will never become president of the United States,” she added.
Warren said she is rallying behind Clinton because "she’s a fighter, a fighter with guts."
Warren’s criticism of Trump has reportedly done more damage to the reputation of the billionaire businessman than of any of his Republican primary opponents could do, and provoked angry response from the real estate mogul.
Scott Ferson, a Boston-based Democratic strategist, said Warren’s attacks are more effective because she has the credibility and knows where to hit him, according to The Hill newspaper.
“She knows how to hit Trump where he lives,” said Ferson. “I would have hated to be Elizabeth Warren’s younger brother.”
She has attacked Trump’s business background and derogatory comments about women, calling him a con artist who has cheated his way into striking distance of the White House.
Shortly after Trump selected Indiana Governor Mike Pence as his vice presidential candidate, Warren tweeted that the two were a perfect match, “Two small, insecure, weak men who use hate & fear to divide our country & our people.”
Trump launched a counter-attack saying that Warren was a “fraud” who lied about having Native American ancestry.
Warren shot back with tweets saying: “It might blow your mind that a woman worked hard & earned a good job on her own, but it’s not the 1800s. It happens.”
