Trump said his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton's tax plans were a disaster.

"So I just left some high representatives of India. They are growing at eight per cent. China is growing at seven per cent, and that for them in the catastrophically low number. We are growing our last report came out, it's right over from the one per cent level. And I think it's going down," Trump said in response to a question on the economy asked by moderator Chris Wallace of the Fox News.

Meanwhile, Trump also spoke about the job reports, and termed them as terrible.

"Last week, as you know, the end of last week, they came out with an anemic jobs report. A terrible jobs report," he said.

"We are not making things any more, relatively speaking. Our product is pouring in from China, pouring in from Vietnam, pouring in from all over the world," he said.

Trump also blamed Clinton's husband former president Bill Clinton for putting in place the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) agreement, saying it "is one of the worst deals ever made of any kind of signed by anybody."
