I see no evidence at all that Donald Trump cares about those people.

I think the voters are going to get another chance to think about that this November as they are seeing their groceries skyrocket, as they're seeing him lay upon all of us, burden all of us with the most regressive tax policy we have seen in my lifetime.

He's taxing everybody.

I mean, you talk about, you want to call Democrats tax and spend.

He's taxing everybody on everything.
