The Democratic presidential nominee was referencing a _Newsweek_ [cover story](http://www.newsweek.com/2016/09/23/donald-trump-foreign-business-deals-national-security-498081.html) arguing that the Trump Organization’s international business relationships could make it hard for a President Trump to conduct foreign policy. In [a post](https://www.hillaryclinton.com/feed/20-questions-donald-trump-needs-to-answer-about-his-business-and-the-national-security-risk-it-poses/?utm%5Fmedium=social&utm%5Fsource=tw&utm%5Fcampaign=20160914feed%5F20quest) on her website, Clinton said that Trump’s career was “full of sketchy relationships with foreign countries.” The posts comes amid a [debate over Trump’s tax returns](http://time.com/4479862/donald-trump-tax-returns-think-people-dont-care/), which he has declined to make public, citing a pending IRS audit as prohibiting him from releasing his taxes. In her tweets, Clinton questioned what Trump would make a priority—America or his personal investments. > [](https://twitter.com/HillaryClinton/status/776097711082921984) > [](https://twitter.com/HillaryClinton/status/776099941999607808) ## Transcript I beat Hillary Clinton in many polls, the queue poll just came out. America didn't stop being great. We have to make it whole again. I'm the only one that beats Hillary Clinton. I have not started on Hillary yet. Believe me, I will start soon. [ APPLAUSE ] I haven't even started. If you don't get an actual check From the Mexican government for 8 or 10 or $ 12 billion, whatever it will cost. How are you going to make them pay for the wall? I will. He's talking about a very tall wall. And the wall just got ten feet taller. That would run the entire border. Paid for by Mexico. That he would somehow get the Mexican government to pay for. We have at least 11 million people in this country that came in illegally. They will go out. You know it's just Fantasy. [ NOISE ] I would work quickly to present to the Congress my plans for raising the minimum wage. Taxes too high, wages too high. Well, you know both Bill and I have been very blessed, neither of us came from wealthy families, and we've worked really hard our entire lives. I took one million dollars and I turned it into Okay, one million ten billion dollars. I've come up with a tax plan that many, many people like Now- Very. [ NOISE ] They may not care much about their lives, but they do care, believe it or not, about their family's lives. [ APPLAUSE ] A diplomacy is not about getting to the perfect solution- We need tough people, we need toughness. It's about how you balance the risk. I would bring back water boarding. And I'd bring back a helluva lot worse, than what we're boarding. We will not send American combats groups back to Syria or Iraq, that is off the table. We talk about Iran and that's one of the worst deals ever made I'm asking people to support me because I think I'm the most qualified, most experienced and ready person to be the President. If I'm elected to be President We will win and we will win and we will win. Thank you.
