Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said on Tuesday that while she believes Donald Trump’s positions on immigration should disqualify him from becoming president, she supports his call to raise taxes on the wealthy.
“There are a lot of places where he gets out and talks about important things,” Warren said of Trump on ABC’s “The View.” “Like Donald Trump and I both agree that there ought to be more taxation of the billionaires, the people who are making their money on Wall Street.”
She said that it’s not a “liberal position,” but the “right” one.
However, Warren did not exactly endorse Trump, and made sure to bash his immigration proposals.
“Because he’s the one who said he wants to rip 11 million people who live in this country right now, rip them out of their families, take them away and deport them. For me, that just scratches his name off the list. You can’t be president of the United States if that’s your view about how we’re going to solve immigration reform. That’s wrong,” she said.
New York Times columnist Paul Krugman also wrote in a Monday column that Trump is “right on economics,” given the real estate mogul’s position on taxes and health care.
