Trump: Low Minimum Wage Good For America
The Donald believes a low minimum wage helps America compete with foreigners.
Your slogan is ‘Make America Great Again,’” host Mika Brzezinski noted. “I’m curious on the issue of wages ,which have been flat for years now… do you think the minimum wage should be raised across the board?”
“Mika, it’s such a nasty question because the answer has to be nasty,” Trump said. “We’re in a global economy now. It used to be companies would leave New York State or leave another state and go to Florida, go to Texas, go to wherever they go because or lower wages…”
But now, Trump noted, the United States is competing with much lower wages in other countries. “We can’t have a situation where our labor is so much more expensive than other countries that we can no longer compete. One of the things I’ll do if I win, I’ll make us competitive as a country.”
“I want to create jobs so you don’t have to worry about the minimum wage, they’re making much more than the minimum wage,” he said. “But I think having a low minimum wage is not a bad thing for this country, Mika.”

It’s pretty simple really.

That is why the alcohol folks always make a Good living in Good times and Bad. No matter what, people consume.

Exactly! Just like more guns = more gun deaths is too complex for the right so to is the law of supply and demand.
Kim Serrahn August 20th, 2015 at 11:16
hey donny………. how about you live on minimum wage for a year and then talk about how good it is for the country and it’s workers. and you can’t get any help form anyone.
Suzanne McFly August 20th, 2015 at 13:15
That silver spoon has given donnie a free pass. He never had to come up on his own, he simply earned it by being born.
The Original Just Me August 20th, 2015 at 14:50
Even then he didn’t earn it. Remember, babies are delivered and there is no hard labor in it for them, just the mother.
The Original Just Me August 20th, 2015 at 14:48
Live on minimum wage ? Ain’t nobody that can do that.
Kim Serrahn August 21st, 2015 at 09:47
but it might shut his pie hole.
The Original Just Me August 21st, 2015 at 11:03
if you sewed his lips shut, he would blow up like a balloon and explode. Then we would have that crap all over the place. What a mess that would be to clean up.
Kim Serrahn August 21st, 2015 at 18:40
i have a shovel and are very willing to help.
The Original Just Me August 21st, 2015 at 22:27
A bucket and shovel are what’s needed UNTIL his mouth is sewn shut.

this man is NOT serious about winning. idiot.
The Original Just Me August 20th, 2015 at 14:47
He is serious about HIS agenda but what that is just isn’t real clear.
whatthe46 August 20th, 2015 at 14:57
true
Suzanne McFly August 20th, 2015 at 13:14
That’s what America’s white trash is doing, they are once again putting support behind something that would hurt them. Without racists, people like the rumpster would not have an audience.
whatthe46 August 20th, 2015 at 13:22
exactly. they don’t care if they are voting against their own best interest. it’s out of pure ignorance and hatred that they love this bastard. this is all tRump is running on and they could care less about anything else. the stupid is strong in all of them.

Just a revitalizing effort of the Union Busting Crowd. Reference the First Objective of the NAZI movement of WWII. Kill the Organized Labor Unions in order to control the people.

And there you have his explanation as to why his cheesy ties and shirts are made in China.

But made of the finest silk money can buy—–CHEAP.

Is THAT where he gets all those hideous ties & shirts he wears all the time?

They are made in Mexico.

So he wants to have a low minimum wage to make our labor costs competitive with forced-labor countries like China, Pakistan and India yet the millions of jobs HE’S going to create will be high-paying jobs that also make us more competitive. Would someone please ask him to explain that logical disconnect?
The Original Just Me August 20th, 2015 at 14:40
Logic-Trump-Campaign, ain’t
no such thing.
Mike August 20th, 2015 at 19:34
Now who’s being silly…no one can explain the Dump’s train of logic…:)
Roctuna August 20th, 2015 at 20:13
Agreed, absolutely, it’s logic with a ? But are there any journalists out there who would ask that question? And more importantly shine a real light on his lunacy?
Mike August 20th, 2015 at 20:25
There are no journalists out there…unless you consider bimbo blond beauty queens 10 years past their prime with IQ’s in the low 60’s up to the job. For the big interviews they bring out their male counterparts who are actually a bit crazier than the Dump.
The world must be sh!ttin a brick that anyone of these 17 could ever get control of the football. I have never been so embarrassed in my life for this country.
The Original Just Me August 20th, 2015 at 14:39
This is just another Tea Party talking point. It just hasn’t been around for awhile though. In their Union Busting fever, the Tea Party wanted to lower wages in the U.S. so U.S. manufactures could compete in the world market. I do remember this.
robert August 20th, 2015 at 14:54

the trumpster is beyond measure They have no choice but to rely on deception
The Original Just Me August 22nd, 2015 at 23:48
The Trumpster is Definitely in the Dumpster. He is recycling every one of the stupid, radical, outlandish rantings , of the Tea Party ever since their inception. If you look, there is nothing new in anything he has said. It is all past goals or visions of Tea Party rantings and ravings. He also gives NO specifics on anything. He is only stirring up the troops with their own lunatic Ideas. I thought he had another agenda in mind but now he is seemingly totally out of control. I think maybe he is actually thinking he can do this.
robert August 22nd, 2015 at 23:56
what fox news didn’t do I believe by choice is ask trump to go in detail on what he has said since his announcement. Its no surprise his ratings are up because the ( so called ) most powerful network wants him elected.
make no mistake, its a 2 headed monster
The Original Just Me August 23rd, 2015 at 00:00
Corps like FAUX News always pander to the top of the pile. That way they have the candidates that may win in their Corporate pockets.
robert August 23rd, 2015 at 00:27
trump has been given the mic on every monday morning by fox news for at least the past 3 years and other fox news hosts have him as their petting zoo animal. Put that all together and that’s plenty of time to set their agenda on how they are going to scam America. Rehearsal is over and its time to fool the middle class all the way to the polls
The Original Just Me August 23rd, 2015 at 00:33
Trump usually dumps his biggies on Sunday. Faux news lets him follow up on Monday. Continuous crapline.
robert August 23rd, 2015 at 00:37
im appalled nobody else picked up on this !
where is the equal time for the dems over the years ? oh that’s right because fox news really isn’t fair and balanced
The Original Just Me August 23rd, 2015 at 00:40
Do you remember in the olden days when they enforced equal time on the networks. That didn’t last long.
robert August 23rd, 2015 at 01:36
i remember when their was no f***n bell during the debates so the voters get a complete answer
whatthe46 August 23rd, 2015 at 02:03
if you think about it, it would appear that fox didn’t want them talking longer than 30 secs or however long it was. i mean, look at the stupid sh!t that came out of their mouths in such a short time. now imagine giving them 2 mins. word salad sarah wouldn’t have nothing on them. they sound ridiculous in sound bites.
robert August 23rd, 2015 at 02:33
it only sums up what fox news is all about… they were the network broadcasting the debate and its not like roger ailes could afford extra time for the debate even if it took 3 hrs to get it all out there. the most powerful just became the most ridiculous
The Original Just Me August 23rd, 2015 at 17:23
uh, well uh, maybe, Geo. W. Dufus would be out of time before he even spoke.

That changed when the answers changed from answers to campaign speeches or all out attacks instead of the subject matter of the question.

The desire for Shock Effect and Reactions seem to be over running the desire to impress with knowledge and understanding. Of which, do seem to be in very small supply.

And all the other major news outlets are? By no means am I a Fox News fan but the quality of news reporting has gone downhill across the board regardless of whose bullshitting us.

i like the line trump gave alabama ” china is dumping their steel in this country ” then goes onto another subject without explaining further.
like i said the ( including the media ) ratings morons are eating this up ! and nobody went through his speech line by line ????
The Original Just Me August 23rd, 2015 at 14:19
I can relate to your comment on China and steel sales. I was in the steel supply industry prior to retiring. At the time, China was buying up any and all scrap steel they could get their hands on. They drove scrap metal prices into the Stratosphere. Foreign imports of steel and high prices for scrap, drove a hard market for American Steel Plants. The result has been a much higher steel cost as foreign markets cannot fully supply America’s needs as well as their own. The scrap market has all but crashed now days. It is a roller coaster ride for sure. I am glad I am retired.
robert August 23rd, 2015 at 14:47
trump asked the crowd if they were working at the steel plant near the stadium ? Trump then said Your not ? GOOD
and then the crowd cheered… and continue to cheer when donald tells half a story
The Original Just Me August 23rd, 2015 at 17:22
At times, what Trump says makes no sense at all. The rest of the time, what he says is just plain STUPID.

Everyone keeps talking about how smart Trump is, I say he is not smart. He is clever. There is a big difference. Stephen Hawking is smart. Trump is clever. Clever enough to take his inheritance, socialize his losses and privatize his gains. That being said, he is not smart enough to understand that America has extremely high productivity. That is what allows us to compete on the world stage.
