Trump: My GOP will be a 'worker's party'

Presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump predicted the Republican Party will become a "worker's party" under his leadership.

“Five, 10 years from now — different party," Trump said during an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek published Thursday.

"You’re going to have a worker’s party. A party of people that haven’t had a real wage increase in 18 years, that are angry."
