“I’m going to get a minimum wage. I feel different from many people with minimum wages, some members of my own party. But I’ll have a minimum wage in the next two weeks.”
When asked about the nature of this next Array, the president added, “Well, I think I’m going to have a very positive about the minimum wage.”

Even then, the rhetoric was hard to take seriously. The concept that Trump “felt different” about minimum wage increases was a hoax he was willing to sell as a candidate in 2016, because he learned that minimum wage increases are popular with the American public.
But it’s a farce, as Trump’s continued opposition to the blanks to increase the existing federal minimum shows.
But in the July 1 interview, the president didn’t need to immediately faint and take an unpopular position, so he falsely hinted that he secretly opposed the GOP line, even if he didn’t, and promised to explain things “in two weeks.”
Well, it’s been 17 days, and that mysterious “very positive about the minimum wage” that Trump “thought” would never materialize, which was no surprise as he was trying to dodge the question.
It has been a must since opening day 2017, and will continue until Trump leaves office.
