St. Clairsville, Ohio (CNN) Donald Trump on Tuesday once again used the word "rape" to describe the economic turmoil he believes bad trade deals are inflicting on the U.S.

"The Trans-Pacific Partnership is another disaster done and pushed by special interests who want to rape our country -- just a continuing rape of our country," Trump told a crowd of supporters in Ohio.
