Donald Trump lashed out at Bloomberg editor John Micklethwait when confronted over the state of the US economy.

Trump took part in a rambling live interview with Bloomberg at the Economic Club of Chicago on Tuesday (15 October).

The former US president appeared to get rather irate when editor-in-chief John Micklethwait challenged him on his economic plans.

Mr Micklethwait accused Trump of running up “enormous debts” and making false promises, as he quoted a story in The Wall Street Journal.

Trump responded: “What does The Wall Street Journal know? They’ve been wrong about everything.

“So have you, by the way, you’ve been wrong.

“You’ve been wrong all your life on this stuff.”
