There's one thing Elizabeth Warren and Donald Trump agree on

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) might think that Donald Trump's immigration proposals are "wrong," but when it comes to economics, Warren thinks The Donald is absolutely right. After hearing about Trump's call to raise taxes on the wealthy, Warren went so far as to praise Trump in a Tuesday interview on ABC's The View.
"There are a lot of places where he gets out and talks about important things," Warren said. "Like Donald Trump and I both agree there ought to be more taxation of the billionaires, the people who are making their money on Wall Street." That position, Warren says, isn't the "liberal position" — it's simply the "right" one.
Amid Trump's usual self-aggrandizement during a Friday morning interview on MSNBC's Morning Joe — he called himself "king of the tax code" — Trump also championed the tax code's simplification. "We're going to simplify the tax code, take away some of the deductions," Trump said. "And hedge fund guys have to pay up."
