Hillary Clinton Campaign Press Release - Donald Trump Celebrated as American Families Saw 401(k) Values Drop $100 Billion

June 25, 2016

Hillary for America Senior Policy Advisor Jake Sullivan released the following statement on Donald Trump's response to the Brexit vote and its impact on American families:

"Yesterday, amidst the global economic uncertainty that followed Britain's vote to leave the European Union, American families watched as their 401(k) accounts lost more than $100 billion in value over the course of a day. Now, we believe that America is resilient and can bounce back, but here is the point:  While markets tumbled and American families' pocketbooks took a hit, Donald Trump cheered and celebrated. He patted himself on the back and boasted about the money that his golf courses would make as a result of the turmoil. At a time when the world looks to the United States for steady leadership, Donald Trump once again proved two truths about his candidacy – that he is temperamentally unfit to be President of the United States and that he is in it for no one but himself."
