Clinton ad: Trump rooted for the housing bubble to burst

Published May 24, 2016 2:17pm ET



Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign unveiled a new web ad Tuesday showing Donald Trump rooting for the “real estate crash” in 2006.

“While Trump was looking for new ways to profit, the reality of the economic crisis was that nine million Americans lost their job and five million families lost their homes,” the Clinton campaign said in a statement. “The new video is part of a series of activities today in more than half a dozen battleground states to highlight these revelations about Donald Trump and Trump’s pattern of seeking to cash in at the expense of families.”
