Trump Changes Stance on U.S. Wages, Saying They are "Too Low"
-------------------------------------------------------------

On the campaign trail, Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump
has changed his stance on U.S. wages, a day after Democratic candidate
Bernie Sanders said he thought he could win over Trump's supporters.
Trump had previously said U.S. wages were "too high," but on Monday, he
tweeted, "Wages in are [sic] country are too low." Trump visited the key
primary state of New Hampshire Monday, after the publisher of the
state's largest newspaper wrote an editorial entitled "Trump campaign
insults NH voters' intelligence." The publisher, Joseph Mc Quaid,
compared Trump to "the grownup bully 'Biff' in the 'Back to the Future'
movie series." Speaking at a rally, Trump called Mc Quaid a "lowlife"
and "sleazebag."
