http://www.rawstory.com/2016/07/obama-labor-secretary-lampoons-trumps-diplomatic-skills-i-havent-run-a-ms-universe-pageant/Appearing on Meet the Press, Labor Secretary Tom Perez rumored to be on Hillary Clintons short list for vice president took a series of shots at presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump, belittling his business credibility and foreign policy knowledge.
The bemused Obama administration figure alternately called Trump a fraud on putting Americans first, a train wreck on trade and the outsourcer in chief when it comes creating jobs in the U.S. Donald Trump is a fraud, Perez told host Chuck Todd. Listening to him talk about how hes going to put American first again, hes spent his entire career putting his own profits first.
Donald Trump has said that wages are too high in America, Donald Trump has said that a low minimum wage is good for America. Donald Trump makes his suits in Mexico, when Ive been to a plant in Ohio that uses union labor to make their suits, Perez exclaimed. Donald Trump has said repeatedly that, Im going to put America first. But then you look at the reality of what he has done he has fought collective bargaining in Las Vegas. The people on the strip who organized the Trump Hotel did it over his dead body.
Turning to foreign policy, Perez smirked when asked by host Todd about Trumps views.
Well, I havent run a Ms. Universe pageant, and I dont own any golf courses in Scotland, Chuck, so I dont have what Donald Trump has, and Im very sorry about that, Perez replied.
