This is the kind of testimony that will really hurt his campaign, I believe.

But, you see, that guy was a low-energy loser, a poor investment. Trump showed business chops by cutting and running.

I don't think the video is as persuasive as you might think it is.  Frankly, everybody already knows that Trump screwed clients over in his businesses, and many people either don't care, or like that element about him.  In fact, the video meshes rather well with Trump's rhetoric about how "we're losing" and that "we need someone tough and smart to negotiate better deals with countries that are ripping us left and right."

I'm not saying I agree with that line of thinking, but I think there are better ways to make the case against Trump.

I think the video was effective.
I have to disagree that "everybody already knows that trump screwed clients over his businesses."
This information needs to be injected to small business owners and to the general public, using videos like this one.

That particular tidbit might not be common knowledge, but I still think video, to an extent, reinforces Trump's image as a ruthless deal-maker.  The Clinton campaign might want voters to think that he will be unfriendly to small businesses as President because he was that way as head of The Trump Organization, but I'm not sure they will make that connection, because the jobs are so disparate.  It seems like a somewhat flimsy case to make, in comparison to all the other issues on which she nailed him, like his nonsensical statements on a host of issues, his racism, and his loose, explosive temperament that should preclude him from "having his finger on the button."

When I watch the video I don't envision trump, his companies or his lawyers as "deal-makers."
I see someone who thinks they are almighty and powerful (trump's narcissism) and that he is bullying his small clients.
He talks big, get what he wants from you (provide the service), then bullies and scares you to accept less payment then what he originally agreed to pay.
So again no "deal-maker" image here ... just someone who takes advantage of others to advance themselves and screw everybody else.

Trump's supporters don't see themselves as part of the everybody else he would screw as President. Indeed, a lot of probably like the idea of vicariously being part of the screwing class by identifying themselves with him rather than people like that architect.
