Trump: Clinton Trying to Show She Is Like Bernie by Attacking the Banks

DOOCY: “All right. Meanwhile, let’s go out — on the phone right now Donald Trump, who is running for president of the United States, joins us from somewhere. Good morning to you, Mr. Trump.”
TRUMP: “Good morning.”
DOOCY: “We wanted to ask you — because Garrett was just showing some highlights from last night. I know you have gone after Hillary Clinton regarding her e-mail situation and the Benghazi in the past. Listen to what she says about the big banks which she has taken a lot of money from. Suddenly, they’re bad.”

CLINTON: “We have to keep a very close watch on the big banks. If they pose a systemic risk to our economy, they can be and should be broken up. And I have said no bank is too big to fail and no executive too powerful to jail.”

DOOCY: “What do you think about that? Given the fact that she’s taken, we know of, $600,000 from Goldman Sachs. Is she a hypocrite that she says big banks are bad?”
TRUMP: “Well I actually think it’s very funny, because when you watch and you see the game of politics, I have always been in politics but now I’m running from a different angle and a different side. And the hypocrisy on so many accounts, whether it’s her or others, they’re all taking money from big banks but I’m not. I’m the only one that self-funding my campaign. I self-fund, so I’ll do the right thing. But these people all take money from big banks, in one form or another. I mean, in her form, she is — you see her in New York having dinner with the bankers all the time. I mean it’s ridiculous. But she’s got to one way or the other, I guess she’s got to show she’s little bit like Bernie. She has to go a little bit left and she keeps going further and further left. I don’t know if it’s going to work or not, she’s got other problems too. You know, she’s got her e-mail problems, what she can’t — what she can’t quite figure out. [crosstalk] And you ask yourself why — on the e-mails, why did she do it? What was the purpose? You know, I mean to go through this, why, what was the purpose? But —“
DOOCY: “Control.”
TRUMP: “I guess. I guess. It’s so ridiculous.”
KILMEADE: “Well, I mean, when you watched the debate last night, everything was about Wall Street, Wall Street, Wall Street. Do you blame Wall Street for tanking the economy?”
TRUMP: “Well, you know, I deal with Wall Street and I can tell you that Wall Street and the banks are controlled by the regulators a 100 percent. You know, the big bankers that make 30 and $40 million a year, which is mostly to make settlements and give billions of dollars to the government. But these big bankers many of whom I know are — I mean, they don’t have the power.”
KILMEADE: “Yeah.”
TRUMP: “The regulators have the power. They don’t have the power to loan money in menu cases. The regulators have the power. Everything they do — I mean, it must be a lousy job to be honest with you. But everything they do, they have to go back to government that [indecipherable] checked off.”
