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 actually said he was doing that to test the loyalty of his supporters?

That sounds nuts,even for a guy that is nuts.

I suspect that is just an editorial comment by the interviewer.

Then again,with this loon,I shouldn't be surprised at anything he does.

I suspect that is just an editorial comment by the interviewer.

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.

“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.

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.

TRUMP: 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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...

This fits with Trumps promise that government will never default because they can just print money. IMO, it's financial Armageddon.

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.

The fact is we don't need millionaires, every one of them is going to be stood against the wall come the revolution

Come the revolution

I'll be shooting those that can't live without sticking their trailer park hand out before I shoot a millionaire.

Spoken like a true retard.

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.

Frankly, I feel sorry for his wife

Oh please. My wife would shoot you just for being a libtard... if it were legal.

Odds are, loud mouthed clowns like you two would be among the first to die, 'come the revolution'..

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.

Odds are, chicken shit domestic terrorist types like you --

Only in your demented mind am I a 'domestic terrorist'.

-- are always the first to speak of the "revolution".

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.

.. but over the 9 years I've posted on LP or LF, I haven't seen one of you assholes do anything.

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.

..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.

Knock on my front door

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

I was happy to see that,” Mr. Trump said of Mr. Khan’s election. “I think it’s a very good thing

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?

Watch Pebbles' head explode.

You've changed to NBC for max spin jive. Chuck Toad is a Reince Priebus/Hillary/Trump lackey (D&R party)

No, the lackey pimp Matt Agorist wrote NBC. You are in max spin jive.

[Article] 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.

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:

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.”

That is about his TAX PROPOSAL, not the mimimum wage.

no cell phone

No cell phones? That cruel and unusual and against the natural rights of man to have someone else buy them cell phones and cigarettes.

Trump isn't blaming America for Muslim atrocities like Dr. Islam has.

Time to wake up Bob, things are changing. Hillary, Trump, and Bernie are merging into one.
