COLUMBUS, Ohio — Hillary Clinton disparaged the economic record and policy acumen of Donald J. Trump in a speech on Tuesday, suggesting his ideas were ill-considered and scrutinizing his own checkered business history.

Some of the highlights:

• Mrs. Clinton said the American economy “isn’t yet where we want it to be, but we are stronger and better positioned than anyone in the world.” She trumpeted her fiscal record as a senator from New York.

• She said that, like Mr. Trump’s foreign policy ideas, his economic proposals were dangerous. “Just like he shouldn’t have his finger on the button, he shouldn’t have his hands on our economy,” Mrs. Clinton said.

• Mrs. Clinton cited a series of Mr. Trump’s past controversial comments about issues like the minimum wage. She said Mr. Trump had also “said all kinds of things about women in the workforce. He once called pregnant employees — and I quote — ‘an inconvenience.’”
