Trump: Special interest groups ‘rape our country’

Published June 28, 2016 11:54pm ET



Donald Trump lambasted special interest groups during a rally in Ohio Tuesday night for lobbying for the continuation of the Trans-Pacific Partnership at the expense of American workers who he claimed have been brutally assaulted by the agreement.

“The Trans-Pacific Partnership is another disaster done and pushed by special interests who wanna rape our country — just a continuing rape of our country,” Trump told attendees at a rally in St. Clairsville, Ohio, Tuesday night. “This is done by wealthy people that wanna take advantage of us and that wanna sign another partnership.”
