Hillary Clinton Mocks Donald Trump’s Economic Advisors as ‘Six Guys Named Steve’ (Video)

Trump’s Newly-Announced Team Actually Includes Six Men Named ‘Steve’

Hillary Clinton Monday afternoon mocked Donald Trump‘s economic advisory team as “six guys named Steve.” The Democratic nominee who is beating her Republican opponent in the latest poll by double digits, was correct. Trump on Friday unveiled his team of economic advisors, and of the 14 people on the list, all are men, and 13 are white. Five are named “Steve” or “Stephen,” and Trump’s National Director of Policy, Stephen Miller, was included in the announcement as someone who will be working with Trump’s Economic Advisory Council.

“He’s got…a dozen or so economic advisers he just named — hedge fund guys, billionaire guys, six guys named Steve, apparently,” Clinton mockingly told supporters in St. Petersburg, Florida. There are no actual economists on Trump’s published list of economic advisors.

“They wrote him a speech and he delivered in Detroit,” she said, referring to Trump’s economic policy speech delivered just past noon on Monday, as The Hill reported. “They tried to make his tired old ideas sound new, but here’s what we know – his tax plans will give super big tax breaks to large corporations and the really wealthy, just like him and the guys who wrote the speech. He wants to roll back regulations on Wall Street….he wants to basically repackage trickle-down economics.”

“They are just playing the same old siren song,” Clinton continued. “We’re not interested in economic plans that just help the top 1 percent.”

“It’s clear that Trump is scrambling to do damage control, that’s why he listed those economic advisers, three Wall Street money managers, an oil baron, one of the chief economists from the banks at the heart of the financial crisis,” she added. “He’s not only putting our national security at risk, he’s also putting our economy at risk.”
