While the interview itself actually took place in mid-2014 before Clinton even formally became a presidential candidate, the Trump camp found just about any opportunity possible to bring the gaffe back out into the open, using it to suggest that Clinton, who is capable of offsetting her expenses by commanding huge fees for speaking engagements, was not dead broke in any way that a regular working-or-middle-class person can understand.

As they say, the rich don't go broke the same way the rest of us do.
