US Presidential Debate: Hillary Clinton & Donald Trump Take On Each Other

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump tangled Monday night over trade, taxes and how to bring good-paying jobs back to the United States as they opened their first face-to-face presidential debate. Democrat Clinton said her Republican rival was promoting a “Trumped-up” version of trickle-down economics _ a philosophy focused on tax cuts for the wealthy. She called for increasing the federal minimum wage, spending more on infrastructure projects and guaranteeing equal pay for women. Trump panned policies that he said have led to American jobs being moved overseas, in part because of international trade agreements that Clinton has supported. He accused her of backing away from her support for trade deals for political gain.
