Republican presidential presumptive nominee Donald Trump would throw the United States economy back into recession, his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton said on Tuesday as she unveiled her economic policies which she claimed would result in creation of jobs and put back the country on the path of prosperity.
"If Donald Trump were to get behind the wheel of the American economy, he would very likely drive us off a cliff, and working families would bear the brunt of the impact of lost jobs, lost savings and lost livelihoods," Clinton said in a major speech on her economic policies in Columbus, Ohio.
"That's the natural conclusion when you look at Trump's policy proposals, his rash and reckless temperament, and his record in the private sector of doing harm to working families and small businesses," she said.
In a blistering attack on Trump, Clinton underlined that according to liberals and conservatives the real estate tycoon's ideas would be disastrous.
"The Chamber of Commerce and labour unions. Mitt Romney and Elizabeth Warren, economists on the right, the left and the center all agree: Trump would throw us back into recession," she said.
"Trump would take us back to where we were before the crisis. He'd rig the economy for Wall Street again. That will not happen on my watch, I guarantee you," Clinton said.
"The US does not do business Trump's way, and it matters when a presidential candidate talks like this, because the world hangs on every word our president says," she said.
