Hewlett Packard CEO: Donald Trump Will Cause ‘Trade War’, ‘Recession’


Whitman is hardly the first Republican insider to come out in full force against Trump as of late, however. Earlier this week, the party’s 2012 nominee Mitt Romney derided him as a “phony” and implored conservatives to not vote for him, although judging by the reaction to his remarks, it seems they had the opposite effect of what the GOP establishment intended:

‘The country needs a thoughtful, experienced leader with the temperament to unite the American people, and Trump is not that person,’ she said.

On Thursday, Mitt Romney bashed Trump during a speech in arguing that ‘his domestic policies would lead to recession.’

‘If Donald Trump’s plans were ever implemented, the country would sink into a prolonged recession,’ the 2012 GOP presidential nominee said.

Earlier this week, Whitman teamed up with several business leaders including Chicago Cubs co-owner Todd Ricketts and hedge fund manager Paul Singer in an effort to stop Trump’s campaign.

Last month, Trump tweeted that the Ricketts family ‘better be careful, they have a lot to hide.’

Ricketts responded that ‘if we had something to hide, you people would have found it by now.’

‘I have no idea (what Trump was warning of),’ he added, according to CBS Chicago.

Whitman was the national finance co-chairwoman for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s failed bid for the GOP nomination.

She ripped into Christie for his endorsement of Trump, calling the move ‘an astonishing display of political opportunism.'”
