Hillary Clinton warned Monday that presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump could bankrupt the country like "he's bankrupted his companies."

Clinton questioned Trump's economic policies at the annual Service Employees International Union’s national convention in Detroit.

“He could bankrupt America like he’s bankrupted his companies,” Clinton said, as quoted by The Detroit News. “I mean ask yourself: How could anybody lose money running a casino? Really.”

Our nation isn't bankrupt already.

Rich irony!

Which is of course stupid because we have fiat currency...

... for the rich anyway.

One zinger vs Trump (I'm paraphasing):

"How do you lose money running a casino?"

One of the best lines I've heard in a while. I love when she uses humor vs Trump. Just like when she imitated him saying: "I'm gonna do it, it's gonna be great, you're gonna love it, but I'm not gonna tell you how I'm gonna do it." LOL. I think humor is an excellent tack for her to take vs Trump. It humanizes her and highlight (and doesn't let him move on) from his numerous absurdities.
