Beloved Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts) went after the Republican presidential frontrunner Donald J. Trump on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert”.
She said he only got where he is by “cheating and defrauding people.”
“He is not a business success,” Warren said on Wednesday.
“He is a business loser,” she added.
“This is his main claim, to how it is that he says he’s qualified to be president of the United States,” she said.
“He says in business, he wins, wins, wins. Well the truth is, he inherited a fortune from his father.”
The Massachusetts senator pointed out financial analysis that found that if Trump had simply put all the money he inherited from his father into index funds, he’d be about as rich as he is now.
“He wasn’t out there doing fabulous deals. He started out rich, he cheated his way to getting richer,” she said.
“That is not going to build an America for hardworking people. He’s going to leave them in the dirt like he’s left everybody else in the dirt.”
Warren argued that the businessman is only out for himself.
“He smells that there’s change in the air and what he wants to do is make sure that that change works really really well for Donald Trump,” she said.
“When the economy is in this type of trouble, calling on Trump for help,” she said, “is like if your house is on fire, calling an arsonist to come help out.”
The Democrat is an outspoken critic of Trump, having called him a “loser” who plays on “cheap racism” for votes.
