“Cut regulations massively,†@realDonaldTrump? No rules & no accountability means people get ripped off & markets blow up. Remember 2008?

A “moratorium†on agency regulations means stopping new rules on shady payday lenders & too-big-to-fail banks, @realDonaldTrump.

W/o rules, @realDonaldTrump, too many huge banks juiced profits by cheating ppl on mortgages, credit cards, etc, then crashed our economy.

Cheating customers & gaming the system might be your business, @realDonaldTrump, but it’s not the way America is going to do business.

And taxes? @realDonaldTrump wants billionaires & giant corps to pay EVEN LESS – so there’s less money for ed, infrastructure & research.

Even @realDonaldTrump's childcare plan gives billionaires w/ a nanny a tax break while millions of low-income households get nothing.

.@realDonaldTrump's economics plan is all about helping rich guys like Donald Trump get richer – & leaving everyone else behind.

The American people aren’t dumb, @realDonaldTrump. We don’t trust you with our nuclear codes AND we don’t trust you with our economy.

Unlike Donald Trump, Sen. Warren knows what she is talking about. There wasn’t a single idea in Trump’s economic speech that wasn’t intended to benefit the wealthy and corporations. Trump sells himself as the “blue collar billionaire,” but his ideas reflect the idea that government role is to help those of already have the most.
Sen. Warren took apart Trump’s speech and exposed it as more of the same pro-one percenter blather that voters have come to expect out of the Republican Party. Warren destroyed Trump on the social media platform that he loves. The Massachusettes Senator’s message rang loud and clear. Donald Trump have demonstrated that he can’t be trusted with the nation’s economy.
