But since he represents the greedy...
He's a total flip-flopper on that issue.

Quote:His comments at the news conference seemed to embrace a national rise in the minimum wage -- specifically, he said, "The minimum wage has to go up. ... at least $10, but it has to go up." And he clarified that that meant, "federal."
That’s a clearer commitment to hiking the minimum wage for every American than Trump had made in his comments to Todd.
At the same time, though, Trump also said, "I think that states should really call the shot." This essentially kept Trump’s focus on the states acting on their own.
Trump’s apparent advocacy for a national $10 minimum wage in his Florida comments does go further than some of his other prior statements on the issue.
• In an interview with MSNBC in August 2015, Trump said, "Having a low minimum wage is not a bad thing for this country."
• During the Republican debate in Milwaukee in November 2015, Trump said wages are "too high" and, when asked whether he would raise the minimum wage, said, "I would not do it."
Oh course, one cannot dismiss the possibility that the dumb fuck can't remember what he said from one moment to the next.
