Trump will hold a rally there in just a few hours. Lets talk first about this economic doom and gloom outlook. Is he explaining it all on the trail, sort of whats leading him to say this . Reporter well, i can certainly tell you listening to trumps speeches, being at trump town halls in the past, he talked about the economy, the need to improve the economy, the need to create jobs, to renegotiate trade deals with countries like china.
