Donald Trump ’60 Minutes’ Interview Talks Republican Tax Plans, Immigration & a Big Wall
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's oh-so-anticipated 60 Minutes interview recently aired. And while the former Celebrity Apprentice star spoke with correspondent Scott Pelley about a large number of issues – including ones he's talked about so many times like immigration and that "big wall" he loves so much – there was one issue that stood out: Trump's tax plan.
Trump's segment on 60 Minutes was a sixteen-minute long piece that incorporated talking points about the billionaire's legacy alongside the interview with Pelley, which was more like the two of them over one another rather than an interview.
Moreover, something else that hit viewers hard was the fact that Donald Trump does not seem like a traditional Republican, something seen by his tax plan.
Of course, when questioned about what kind of Republican he is, because the right wing is not known for cutting taxes, Trump claimed, "I'm a good Republican."
Despite all the wondrous dreams of our how country would be under the Donald Trump president, Pelley poses the question of how the hopeful would pay for it.
"We're gonna absolutely be able to pay for it. My economy will expand so rapidly," Trump said. "We're going to take jobs back from other countries and we're gonna be able to pay for it."
And sure, the interview hit the much discussed subject of immigration, something Trump has been known to discuss in the past. And like usual, he settled the question by saying he was going to build a big wall. In fact, not only big, but also great and cheap.
"How are you going to build a wall that is cheap and impenetrable," he was asked.
"It will be a real wall; it will be a wall that works. It will actually be a wall that will look good, believe it or not..."
So, Trump's 60 Minutes interview. Thoughts? How about that tax plan?
