Remember this?

"Let me just explain. That was on minimum wage and it was how we're going to compete with other countries," Trump told "Fox and Friends" in a telephone interview. "They were talking about increasing the minimum wage. And whether it's taxes or minimum wages, if they're too high, we're not going to be able to compete with other countries."

During the debate, Trump also said that he would not raise the minimum wage.

"But, taxes too high, wages too high, we're not going to be able to compete against the world. I hate to say it, but we have to leave it the way it is," he told debate moderator Neil Cavuto when asked if he would raise wages. "People have to go out, they have to work really hard and have to get into that upper stratum. But we cannot do this if we are going to compete with the rest of the world. We just can't do it."

But this week?

Donald Trump said Tuesday night that the federal minimum wage must be raised, and promised to implement a $10 per hour wage if elected president.

"I would say $10," Trump told Fox News host Bill O'Reilly when asked about the specific figure he would recommend. "But with the understanding that somebody like me is going to bring back jobs. I don't want people to be in the $10 dollar category very long. I believe it should be raised."

Well he is courting the Bernie supporters, so he has to flip/flop or lie  to get their vote. Since 1/3 of his support did come from the left, he has to do something to keep that support and attract more support from that side of the spectrum.

Another Trump flip flop? Another Trump lie?  :confused:  :rolleyes:

Ive already come across Trumpets who months ago were saying that raising the minimum wage was bad because it would raise costs of things and cut jobs, but now are saying "Ya, the minimum wage really does need to be at least $10. Anything less would keep people in poverty"

So, regarding another Trump lie and flip flop, in the words of the other NY lib - What difference does it make? Because Trumps minions just flip flop along with him and continue to blindly follow.

That's because they have no values to anchor them like Conservatives. They shift based on what their master says. Think for themselves? Never happen.

I think that was one third Rep, and two thirds lib. :biggrin:

LEVIN: WHY AREN'T CONSERVATIVES LIVID ABOUT TRUMP'S MINIMUM WAGE FLIP FLOP?

During a lengthy press conference Wednesday, Trump recanted his former intentions to leave minimum wage alone, instead saying he would raise it to $10 an hour.

Trump has been back-and-forth so often on minimum wage policy it's surprising that he doesn't have whiplash. At any rate, Mark Levin wasn't afraid to call Trump out on the flip-flop during his radio program Wednesday night.

"This is economic illiteracy," said Levin. "Raising the minimum wage eviscerates jobs for the 'little people' – the unskilled and no-skilled."

I'm still blown away at how stupid Trumpers are.  None of them are conservatives, so they are perfectly fine with Marxist positions like universal health care and minimum wage.

Minimum wage is such a jobs and business killer.  It really is sad.

Exactly!
Study: Dems' $15 Wage Would Kill 7 Million Jobs
Though seriously underestimated, still it murders our economy and creates even more dependents, which is the plan after all.

I really think Trump is going for the trifecta...(I know this is not a completely original thought  :smile:

1. Alienate conservatives assuring he wont win and have to actually do anything.

2. By doing so and attacking Cruz he can lay the blame on his head thus destroying him (he hopes) which also helps with  #1.

3.  Elects Hillary.

In Trump's defense, he's not a businessman, and has been a liberal his entire life, so he doesn't understand this.

Not sure #2.  Nothing to really blame Cruz for, except being a conservative.

Just the non endorsement kept Cruz supporters (ie. real conservatives) from voting, resulting in his loss...yadda, yadda, yadda
