WATCH: Elizabeth Warren Tells Colbert Trump Is a ‘Business Loser,’ Who Cheated And Defrauded

‘Calling on Donald Trump for Help Is Like if Your House Is on Fire, Calling an Arsonist to Come Help Out’

Progressive icon and Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren told Stephen Colbert Wednesday night that Donald Trump is a “business loser,” suggesting his entire campaign is based on a lie. 

“This is the deal, you gotta kinda look a little closer at Donald Trump. Because this is his main claim to how it is that he says he’s qualified to be president of the United States. He says, in business he wins, wins, wins. Well, the truth is: He inherited a fortune from his father,’ Warren noted, adding “he kept it going by cheating and defrauding people, and then he tricked detractors through Chapter 11.”

“We have an economy that is in real trouble. But when the economy is in this kind of trouble, calling on Donald Trump for help is like if you’re house is on fire, calling an arsonist to come help out,” Warren told “The Late Show” host. “Let’s be real clear. Donald Trump is looking out for exactly one guy, and that guy’s name is Donald Trump,” she said. 

Warren defended her recent Twitter attacks on Trump, saying it wasn’t “name-calling,” but rather it was “taking the credential that he claims he’s running on and that is his business success and saying, ‘No, buster, we’re not buying that,'” Warren said. “He is not a business success. He’s a business loser.”
