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.
