If there is one aspect of Donald Trump’s campaign that is consistent, it is his knack for being astonishingly inconsistent. Letting the world know that he fabricates his policy from the seat of his pants, Trump just made two massive u-turns. During an interview with NBC, Trump says he now supports a higher national minimum wage, and that he would raise taxes on the rich rather than lower them as he’s previously stated. “I don’t know how you live on $7.25 an hour,” he said, adding that he would support “an increase of some magnitude” in minimum wage levels, even if he’d rather leave the decision to individual states. In a seemingly deliberate move to shake up his supporters and test their loyalty, Trump gladly volunteered to up the ante on taxes by telling ABC’s This Week, “I am willing to pay more, and you know what, the wealthy are willing to pay more.” Trump’s call for higher taxes and increasing the minimum wage are in stark contrast to the rest of the Republican party. Just last year, Trump released his tax proposal that included tax breaks for businesses and households which subsequently led to his surge in popularity. However, he’s now reneged on those promises — and he hasn’t even been elected yet. When ABC pressed Trump on his contradictions in policy, he willfully admitted that his ideas are a mere “concept” and “by the time it gets negotiated, it’s going to be a different plan.” The campaign of Trump’s long-time friend and recipient of so much of his money, Hillary Clinton, called the recent flip-flopping “pandering.” “Don’t believe Donald Trump’s weak attempts at a general election ‘makeover’ for even a second,” Christina Reynolds, a Clinton campaign spokeswoman, said in a statement to Yahoo News. “Trump’s economic plans take direct aim at working Americans – his proposal to cut trillions in taxes for the top one percent would almost certainly come at the expense of working- and middle-class families.” While Trump’s recent 180 will be spun by his supporters as him protecting the middle class, it is entirely obvious that he is whoremongering. Having already usurped a large section of the liberty movement, Trump’s recent shift in policy can only be seen as an attempt to bring in the bastardized Bernie supporters who will be looking for “anyone buy Hillary” in a few months. As the presidential campaign continues, it’s becoming quite apparent that the American political system is in shambles. Not only were the presidential debates a circus that resembled a schoolyard quarrel more so than a discussion of government policy, but the entire election process has been exposed as rigged. It matters not the puppet who is selected to live in the White House. The problem is the system that puppet represents that will lay waste to your rights, bleed you dry, and then demand you thank them for the ‘help.’ Until society sees outside of the system which relies on violence to solve its problems, this circus will continue. When the circus is not enough to appease the masses, we will see it accompanied by the proverbial ‘bread’ — followed by the collapse of the empire. Poster Comment: Trump is now running to the left of Bernie, having killed off any chance of a pro-American, Patriot RINO nominee. He's promising to tax the rich and give everyone a minimum of $15 an hour. The Donald is trying to out-socialist Bernie, and get the SJW/BLM, Safe Space vote. Who can promise the most free stuff, Bernie or Trump. This fits with Trumps promise that government will never default because they can just print money. IMO, it's financial Armageddon. Vermin Supreme, an extremist conservative?
Vermin Supreme has promised a free pony, but nothing more.

Yes, it seems like a comment by the author. IMO, Trump is going for some Bernie's supporters, which will be up for grabs once he officially drops out. He's also testing the waters to see how far left he can go and still hang onto the Romney/Mitch McConnell Republicans. I'm guessing that for most of them the sky's the limit, they'll vote for anything with an R. A look at the transcript readily reveals the bullshit inserted in the words of Matt Agorist. In the above, the only words of Donald Trump are “I don’t know how you live on $7.25 an hour,” and “an increase of some magnitude”. The rest is the bullshit of that hack, Matt Agorist. What Trump supported was not the doubling of the minimum wage to $15 an hour. It was not the increase of the Federal minimum wage at all. He noted the difficulty of lining on $7.25 an hour, and supported the STATES deciding what they want to do. CHUCK TODD: Right. You want the fed-- but should the federal government set a floor, and then you let the states-- DONALD TRUMP: No, I'd rather have the states go out and do what they have to do. http://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/meet-press-may-8-2016-n570111 [excerpt] CHUCK TODD: Minimum wage. Minimum wage. At a debate, you know. You remember what you said. You thought you didn't want to touch it. Now you're open to it. What changed? DONALD TRUMP: Let me just tell you, I've been traveling the country for many months. Since June 16th. I'm all over. Today I'm in the state of Washington, where the arena right behind me, you probably hear, is packed with thousands and thousands of people. I'm doing that right after I finish you. I have seen what's going on. And I don't know how people make it on $7.25 an hour. Now, with that being said, I would like to see an increase of some magnitude. But I'd rather leave it to the states. Let the states decide. Because don't forget, the states have to compete with each other. So you may have a governor -- CHUCK TODD: Right. You want the fed-- but should the federal government set a floor, and then you let the states-- DONALD TRUMP: No, I'd rather have the states go out and do what they have to do. And the states compete with each other, not only other countries, but they compete with each other, Chuck. So I like the idea of let the states decide. But I think people should get more. I think they're out there. They're working. It is a very low number. You know, with what's happened to the economy, with what's happened to the cost. I mean, it's just-- I don't know how you live on $7.25 an hour. But I would say let the states decide.
Yeoman's work, Nolu. Thank you for setting the record straight yet again.
The financial stuff, commie pandering, starts @9:00 You've changed to NBC for max spin jive. Chuck Toad is a Reince Priebus/Hillary/Trump lackey (D&R party) The article is about what Trump said to George Stephanopoulos on ABC. He's moving to the left of Bernie Sanders. No amount of spin bull will change that. Did he promise you a $15.00 an hour job, in the Hillary administration? Oh dear, ohdear, oh dear! The Dump has shown his true colours, but he is right again, noone can live on $7.25 an hour, it is probably unlikely they can live on $15 an hour but they could give it a shot and tax the rich, well why not they have the money and reap the benefit, poor people don't. perhaps he can get the idea of a supertax on unearned income

Why don't you wash that libtard mouth out with a 12 gauge mouth wash. Anyone can live on minimum wage. They just will have to eat those .25 cent chink soups, live in a dive, no cell phone or frills and NO LITTLE BASTARD KIDS or drugs. Not everyone needs to be well off and have an easy life. The country needs millionaires to shit in toilets, middle class to sell the toilets and trailer trash to pump the septic tank. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Get use to it, Hondope. PRESIDENT TRUMP

I'm just wondering who you Paultards now support now that Dr. "Islam is Great" is peeing and crapping into his adult diapers every day and night and mumbling about how America is undeserving of him. I feel sorry for his handlers in the Port Artur nursing home.
Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president
TheWannaBuyABridgeProject Gosh, you must not have read past the title and source. Attaboy! During an interview with NBC, Trump says he now supports a higher national minimum wage, and that he would raise taxes on the rich rather than lower them as he’s previously stated. “I don’t know how you live on $7.25 an hour,” he said, adding that he would support “an increase of some magnitude” in minimum wage levels, even if he’d rather leave the decision to individual states.

We share that opinion. BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW! ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO SO,TOO! ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION! Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.

Weird thing about septic tanks; -- mostly millionaires on their estates, --- and trash in their trailer parks, --- that shit in septic tanks. The middle class have sewer systems...

Oh, the irony. Donald Trump Praises London's New Muslim Mayor Donald J. Trump has attracted enormous attention for his proposal to temporarily bar Muslim from entering the United States. But on Monday he said he was “happy” that London had elected its first Muslim mayor and suggested that the new official would be among the exceptions to his proposal. “There will always be exceptions,” Mr. Trump said when asked in an interview on Monday how his proposed ban would affect London’s mayor, Sadiq Khan. “I was happy to see that,” Mr. Trump said of Mr. Khan’s election. “I think it’s a very good thing, and I hope he does a very good job because frankly that would be very, very good.” Asked why, Mr. Trump said, “Because I think if he does a great job, it will really — you lead by example, always lead by example. If he does a good job and frankly if he does a great job, that would be a terrific thing.” peeing and crapping into his adult diapers every day and night and mumbling about how America is undeserving of him. I feel sorry for his handlers in the Port Artur nursing home. Yeah, seems like you know a lot about stuff like that. What brand do you use, Depends? Does the ward nurse know you're on the computer and off your meds assclown? You almost make Gatlin look sane. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Spoken like a true retard. You like to live like that I suggest you try it. The fact is we don't need millionaires, every one of them is going to be stood against the wall come the revolution
I'll be shooting those that can't live without sticking their trailer park hand out before I shoot a millionaire. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
You're insulting retards by calling him that. The fact is, GrandIsland is basically just an asshole who has been a cop most of his adult life, and as such thinks he's better than anyone else. Frankly, I feel sorry for his wife and kids having to live with a disgusting POS like that. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much I've read what Trump said about this matter. It is amazing how many people so hate Trump that they will lie, bend, and misquote Trump in anything he has to say. Does that mean that Trump is the Holy Grail for America? It simply means that I don't pay any attention to anything his enemies say.
Psalm 37
Oh please. My wife would shoot you just for being a libtard... if it were legal. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
I'll be shooting those that can't live without sticking their trailer park hand out before I shoot a millionaire. --- GrandIsland Odds are, loud mouthed clowns like you two would be among the first to die, 'come the revolution'..
Odds are, chicken shit domestic terrorist types like you Paultards are always the first to speak of the "revolution"... but over the 9 years I've posted on LP or LF, I haven't seen one of you assholes do anything but flap your Ron Paultard pud polishers. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
What an evil thing to say. You're a real pos.
Odds are, loud mouthed clowns like you two would be among the first to die, 'come the revolution'.. Only in your demented mind am I a 'domestic terrorist'. I doubt we'll have a political revolution. A financial collapse is more likely, with hotheads like you as prime targets in the strife that would follow. I'm here to see clowns like you make assholes of yourselves. -- I don't need to do a damned thing but say it like it is, to accomplish that..
over the 9 years I've posted on LP or LF, I haven't seen one of you assholes do anything Well they sure as hell wouldn't tell you about it totalitarian oinker, fusion center Obama-bot. No just following the example of those who started the freedom movement and understood what true evil is. Remember the french revolution, those dudes knew how to deal with the rich who thought that privilege was a life style. Did they eliminate the poor? No, they eliminated the rich and formed a fairer society and america has forgotten its roots and now thinks wealth is something to be aspired too, to be fawned over.
This helps explain the Trump phenomenon.
You need to have your head exploded. You're a piece of shit. Go die. Kill yourself. Suck some liberal aids faggot. Jump off a bridge. Knock on my front door.
Pebbles, you need to calm down and act like a site owner/moderator.
Why bother, I couldn't teach you anything, you are too thick, As they say in Scotland thick as three wooden planks laid end to end
Gee, The Donald hasn't been so happy since Caitlyn Jenner showed up at Trump Towers to use his transgender bathroom facilities. Maybe this mooslimb mayor is a tranny? Good one, hondopehead! Watch Pebbles' head explode.
No, the lackey pimp Matt Agorist wrote NBC. You are in max spin jive. The article is about what Trump said to George Stephanopoulos on ABC. The part about mimimum wage is explicitly attributed to NBC. In mid-article, it cites ABC: When ABC pressed Trump on his contradictions in policy, he willfully admitted that his ideas are a mere “concept” and “by the time it gets negotiated, it’s going to be a different plan.” That is about his TAX PROPOSAL, not the mimimum wage.
No cell phones? That cruel and unusual and against the natural rights of man to have someone else buy them cell phones and cigarettes.
I really don't care who London elects mayor and neither does Trump. He was just avoiding another gotcha moment which I understand. Trump isn't blaming America for Muslim atrocities like Dr. Islam has. Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president
More selective editing in an attempt to undermine Trump supporters, ain't gonna happen folks, trump haters are the makings of the new third party, the party of the imbeciles, the party of Cruz/Warren.

Time to wake up Bob, things are changing. Hillary, Trump, and Bernie are merging into one. "I have no problem with Yanukovych in Ukraine" --Trumpinator http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3428265/posts? page=71#71 Trumpinator, Trump's Campaign Manager Paul Manafort , and Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman are on the same commie Yanukapage: "John David Podesta is the Chairman of the 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign. Podesta previously served as Chief of Staff to President Bill Clinton and Counselor to President Barack Obama." "In reality, it was closely tied to the party of Viktor Yanukovych and one of his principal financial backers, Sergei Klyuyev. The two firms that got the ECFMU contract are the Podesta Group, which is run by the brother of White House special counselor John Podesta," http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2014-04-30/news/sns-rt-us- ukraine-lobbyists-20140430_1_u-s-firm-lobbying-firm-mercury So how's Trump fundamentally different from Clinton again?

[5] Manafort was hired to advise Yanukovych months after massive street demonstrations known as the Orange Revolution overturned Yanukovych's victory in the 2 004 presidential race. [17] Borys Kolesnikov , Yanukovich’s campaign manager, said the party hired Manafort after identifying organizational and other problems in the 2004 elections, in which it was advised by Russian strategists. [16] Manafort rebuffed U.S. Ambassador William Taylor when the latter complained he was undermining U.S. interests in Ukraine.[18]" So how's Trump different from Clinton again, Bob?
