Youve got people who will see that offer from the Democrats, from the progressive Democrats, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Heres the Green New Deal, heres the guarantee of a job, and think, yeah, thats what I want, its that simple, Steve Hilton said. What do you say to those people?
Ocasio-Cortez, of course, has made headlines with her bold initiative, which not only seeks to eliminate greenhouse gas pollution in the U.S. over the next decade but also takes aim at inequality by guaranteeing jobs with a living wage.
This idea of a guaranteed minimum is not something most people want, Trump said. They want the ability to be able to secure a job. They want the ability to live in a country wheres theres the potential for upward mobility.

I think fundamentally if you ask yourself the question, are we better today than we were yesterday or we were 2 years ago? The answer is, undoubtedly, yes, she said. So, as an American, families sitting down and thinking about their financial situation relative to a month ago or a year ago, America is doing very well and it stands in quite sharp contrast to the rest of the world. So, not only are we doing well, much of the world has slowed down in terms of the pace of their growth.
And this is the "reasonable" Trump.

What planet are you living on, Vanky? Ask the GM workers in Lordstown. Ask the people who stand to lose their health insurance at the hands of Republican ACA strangulation. Ask the young folks who are so burdened by student loan repayment and flat wages, they'll never be able to afford to buy a home. Those are things you know zero about. You know, things like real life.

(13,390 posts)Ocasio Cortex doesn't tend to dismiss and devalue them. She is almost there Ocasio Cortez doesn't MIS-understand people the way I do.
But understand works if you consider that the Trump family seems to understand us as either exploitable or irrelevant. Or exploited then irrelevant until the next campaign. A different understanding doesn't answer in what way it is different.

(4,316 posts)It is not as if Ivanka mentioned Ocasio-Cortez. Seems like the interviewer wants to pit them against each other. Ivanka is not in the same category as Cortez, she is way lower on the totem pole.
