Clinton hits out at Trump for supporting Britain’s EU exit

Donald Trump’s support for Britain’s historic exit of the European Union has been slammed by Hillary Clinton’s campaign team which claims the Republican front-runner is more concerned with how his business would benefit from the decision rather than how it would impact the economy of the United States.

Robby Mook, Clinton campaign manager pointed out that Trump’s reaction to the Brexit vote showed he is not fit to occupy the White House.

“Hillary Clinton looks at this through the lens of how it’s going to affect middle-class families, Donald Trump through the lens of how it will help his bottom line,” Mook said on “Fox News Sunday.”

Without mentioning Trump by name, Clinton also warned that “bombastic comments in turbulent times can actually cause more turbulence” in a speech to a conference of city mayors in Indianapolis on Sunday afternoon.

An advertisement showing a wealthy real estate developer’s comments on the fall of the British currency after the Brexit vote saying could mean more business for his golf course in Turnberry, Scotland, where he was speaking, was also released by Clinton’s campaign team.

“Every president is tested by world events, but Donald Trump thinks about how his golf resort can profit from them,” said the 30-second video.
