Hillary Clinton: Donald Trump wants to get rid of the federal minimum wage

By Will Doran on Friday, July 8th, 2016 at 6:25 p.m.

NBC's Chuck Todd interviews Donald Trump for the May 8, 2016, edition of "Meet the Press."




In her speech in Charlotte on Tuesday, Hillary Clinton slammed Donald Trump’s economic platform.

Specifically, Clinton said, the Republican presidential nominee doesn’t want the U.S. government to guarantee that workers get a minimum wage.........................



Hillary Clinton said Donald Trump "wants to get rid of the federal minimum wage."

She is right. While Trump has said he personally thinks the minimum wage should be higher, he has also said that it should be up to the states and that the federal government should not set a nation-wide minimum wage at all.

We rate this claim True.

2. It doesn't feel like progress to have to debate this again.

Raising the minimum wage is good.
