Trump Says Having Federal Minimum Wage Doesn’t Work

In an appearance on “Meet the Press” on NBC News, President-Elect Donald Trump offered his response when pressed about his stance on the federal minimum wage. “It would be nice to have just a minimum wage for the whole country, but it wouldn’t work because you have places where it’s very inexpensive to live, where a minimum wage which is at $8 or $9 might be, you know, might have very little effect because the cost of living in certain places is really low.”
