Donald Trump Wednesday described Hillary Clinton's core supporters as Hollywood celebrities — "in many cases, celebrities that aren't very hot anymore" — and Wall Street interests who are working against the American people.
"Her supporters have really very little enthusiasm," the Republican nominee told a rally at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa. "The only people enthusiastic about her campaign are Hollywood celebrities — in many cases, celebrities that aren't very hot anymore— and Wall Street donors, special interests and lobbyists who want to control government, not to the benefit of our country but to the benefit of their wallet."
Trump's attack followed Clinton's attendance at a Hollywood fundraiser on Tuesday hosted by Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake that raised $3.34 million.
Jennifer Aniston and Jamie Foxx were among the 100 celebrities attending the luncheon. Clinton on Monday participated in a fundraiser hosted by former NBA star Magic Johnson.
Trump also compared Clinton's protesters at his rallies to those who backed Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders during the primaries.
"Even her protesters don't have the spirit that Bernie protesters have," Trump said, referencing those who demonstrated at a rally in Austin, Texas, on Tuesday.
"We had some protesters. It is, like, they raised their hand. They're so nice.
"Her protesters have so little enthusiasm for her — and they're so boring that the cameras don't follow them," Trump said. "I like the Bernie protesters better."
The nominee continued his attacks on the Clinton Foundation, saying that the former secretary of state "created an illegal private email server — deliberately, willfully, and with total premeditation.
"She did so to cover-up a vast pay-for-play scheme.
"Her actions made our enemies vulnerable to foreign hacking, and betrayed the security and safety of the United States, our military and all of our people.
"Her actions are criminal, purposeful and calculated," Trump said. "She knew what she was doing."
