Trump Changes Stance on U.S. Wages, Saying They are “Too Low”

HeadlineDec 29, 2015

On the campaign trail, Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump has changed his stance on U.S. wages, a day after Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders said he thought he could win over Trump’s supporters. Trump had previously said U.S. wages were “too high,” but on Monday, he tweeted, “Wages in are [sic] country are too low.” Trump visited the key primary state of New Hampshire Monday, after the publisher of the state’s largest newspaper wrote an editorial entitled “Trump campaign insults NH voters’ intelligence.” The publisher, Joseph McQuaid, compared Trump to “the grownup bully 'Biff' in the 'Back to the Future' movie series.” Speaking at a rally, Trump called McQuaid a “lowlife” and “sleazebag.”
