Politics – Trump defends use of bankruptcy laws

Donald Trump countered criticisms of his companies’ bankruptcy history Tuesday, saying he “used, brilliantly, the laws of the country.” Trump’s defense came as a response to Hillary Clinton’s criticism of Trump’s business record. “What I’ve done is I’ve used, brilliantly, the laws of the country. And not personally, just corporate. And if you look at people like myself that are at the highest levels of business, they use — many of them have done it, many times,” Trump said on “ABC World News Tonight.” Trump continued, “I’m running a business. I’m running a business for myself, for my company, for my employees, and for my family. Hillary wouldn’t have any idea how to do that. Don’t forget. Somebody has to understand debt. She doesn’t understand debt.”
