HEMPSTEAD: Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump traded blows on the debate stage Monday over the Democrat’s use of a private email server as secretary of state, and the Republican billionaire’s refusal to release his tax history.
“I will release my tax returns against my lawyer’s wishes when she releases her 33,000 e-mails that have been deleted,” Trump said when pressed on the issue during their crucial first White House debate.
“I have no reason to believe that he’s ever going to release his tax returns, because there’s something he’s hiding,” Clinton fired back.
Hillary Clinton accused Donald Trump of peddling “trumped up trickle down” economics in the opening minutes of their first presidential debate, setting a combative tone as the candidates clashed over how to increase US jobs.
“I will bring back jobs. You can’t bring back jobs,” Trump retorted, as the pair tangled over trade, taxes and government regulations in the opening salvos of the 90-minute debate.
“I know you live in your own reality, but those are not the facts,” Clinton said, after Trump took her to task over her support of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal.
It is pertinent to mention here that, Democrat Hillary Clinton and her Republican rival Donald Trump took the stage Monday for their crucial first presidential debate, in what could be the most watched US political event in years.
The two White House hopefuls, in a virtual dead heat in polls with barely six weeks before the November 8 election, cordially shook hands as they readied for a 90-minute face-off.
