Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s ghost of casino past comes back knocking on his front door in the form of his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
Standing next to the shuttered Trump Plaza casino that Trump once owned, Clinton on Wednesday took a swipe at her political opponent’s casino bankruptcies. She warned that voting for Trump in November will put the US economy in the same condition as his failed casinos.
The former US Secretary of State claimed that the real estate developer for profited from the financial ruins of workers in the economically depressed seaside resort town. Trump left the beleaguered Atlantic City after his last bankruptcy.
“He makes over-the-top promises and says if people trust in him, put their faith in him, he’ll deliver,” said Clinton, according to Reuters. “Then everything falls apart, people get hurt, and Donald gets paid.”
