Because he did:

http://www.nytimes.com/politics/firs...-are-too-high/

How does this jibe with his promises to help the US working-class?

He is President-elect, as in he has yet to take the oath of office and you're dismissing things he said ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL as "old stuff". I don't thing you're going to be a reasonable participant in this conversation.

No he didn't.

It's a nonsense article from the fake news New York Times.

Clearly he says he is against raising the minimum wage and the NY Times turns into that hit piece. i.e. Trump says wages are too high in the USA.



Honestly, I can't believe that anyone pays the NY Times any mind these days.

^I've no idea why you posted a youtube video without comment in response to what I said.


You linked yet another hit piece from the NY Times.

The NY Times article referenced this quote, so I linked the video of Trump saying exactly what the NY Times said he did. These are called facts, and I provided the fact-check.

The context was regarding minimum wage, OP. This was clarified in an interview after the debate.Trump: I never said wages are too high - POLITICO

Truth is many people are paid way more than they are actually worth in the workforce. That's why the minimum wage needs to be abolished. I've worked in these environments and I can tell you it's not fair when I'm making the same as the lazy bum standing next to me. It has nothing to do with life worth.

Did you ever consider the fact that you were, perhaps, underpaid? It's only matter of perspective. I have a house cleaner who I pay $20-$25 an hour. She sweeps, vacuums, scrubs and mops. It's all fairly simple, unskilled work, and I paid her exactly what I think that work is worth. I pay babysitter $15 to sit on my couch and watch television while my children sleep upstairs. I can't imagine what "work" people think is worth less than 7.25 an hour.
