Donald Trump on Wednesday defended his business record from Hillary Clinton’s recent attacks, and said Clinton would do “so badly for the economy.”
“I heard what she said, I built a great, great company … It’s worth tens, I mean it’s just a very, very valuable company,” Trump said on ABC after Clinton attacked his business record Tuesday.

“He’s written a lot of books about business. They all seem to end at Chapter 11,” Clinton said Tuesday in a speech. “He bankrupted his companies not once, not twice, but four times.”
Trump defended himself from that comment by saying he “used brilliantly the laws of the country.”
“If you look at people like myself, that are the highest levels of business, many of them have done it many, many times,” Trump said.
And when it comes to fundraising, Trump didn’t rule out continuing to self-fund his campaign. Clinton far out-raised Trump heading into the beginning of June, according to recent figures released by the Federal Election Committee.
“I may, I may,” he said of the idea of self-funding. “Because to me … I can do whatever I want.”
Trump also answered a question over his attack on Clinton’s religion, in which he told a group of top social conservative evangelical Christian leaders at a gathering in New York City: “[W]e don’t know anything about Hillary in terms of religion.”
“I don’t know much about her,” Trump said, although he added that he doesn’t really want to know more about her.
Trump said he would “much rather have [a campaign] based on issue and policy. I think we win on issues and policy.”
Trump is set to give a speech on both Clintons, Wednesday at Trump SoHo in New York.
