Today marks 16 years since the federal minimum wage was last raised.

He has no idea what it's like for the average family.
Trump: “Somebody said, ‘Oh the shelves are going to be open.’ Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls. And maybe the two dolls will cost a couple bucks more than they would normally.”
