Trump envisions changes to tax plan


Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said in an interview broadcast Sunday that there will be changes to his tax plan after negotiations.

"By the time it gets negotiated, it's going to be a different plan," Trump said on ABC's "This Week."

According to the candidate's plan, the tax rate for the wealthiest people in the country would drop from 39.6 percent to 25 percent. But he said that would likely change.

"On my plan, they're going down. But by the time it's negotiated, they'll go up," Trump said.

"Look, when I'm negotiating with the Democrats, I'm putting in a plan. I'm putting in my optimum plan. It's going to be negotiated. ... It's not going to stay there. They're not going to say, 'There's your plan, let's approve it.' They're going to say, 'Let's see what we can do.' "

He said the most important parts of his tax plan include lowering taxes on businesses and the middle class. He said he'll "try and keep everything," adding that the country is the "highest-taxed nation in the world."

Regarding minimum wage, Trump also said he thinks "people have to get more."

"I am looking at it, and I haven't decided in terms of numbers," he said.

"Sure, it's a change. I'm allowed to change. You need flexibility ... whether it's a tax plan ... where you know you're going to negotiate," he continued.

"But we're going to come up with something. ... I'm going to bring companies back into this country, and they're going to make a lot more than the $15 even," Trump said.

Donald Trump Reverses Stance On Raising Minimum Wage


Donald Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee, said Sunday that "people have to get more," after spending time on the campaign trail striking down the possibility of a minimum wage hike.

"I am looking at it, and I haven't decided in terms of numbers. But I think people have to get more," Trump said on ABC News' "This Week."

Trump has said that the wages were too high in the country, notably at a debate in November. Trump told ABC host George that it was a different opinion than previously expressed.

"Sure, it's a change. I'm allowed to change," he said. "But my real minimum wage is going to be — I'm going to bring companies back into this country, and they're going to make a lot more than the $15 even."

Trump acknowledged on NBC News' "Meet the Press" that he wanted to just have the states decide.

"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," Trump said. "But I'd rather leave it to the states. Let the states decide."

The guy's clever : He knows that he can't win the general election with the stances he took during the Republican primary, he knows he needs to reach out to indpendants and even to some of the demorats who do not trust Hillary.. He knows tha even some independents ans some democrats shares his views on these topics. He knows that many of them care deeply about some socio-economic issues like taxes for the wealthy, minimum wage, etc. He knows most republicans do not care as much about this thjan about immigration or muslims. So he changes his stances on these topics, he adapts himself to the voters he tries to convince.
This is theal danger with Trump : You don't know what he really stands for. He may stand for nothing but himself. He won't say what he hinks, he'll say what you want him to say
