Trump: ‘We Have To Help the American Worker’

‘They came out of these companies that were doing phenomenally well’

EXCERPT: 
REPORTER: "I mean, just to follow up on that: Are you willing to work directly with Speaker Pelosi as she writes the House bill?"
TRUMP:  "Yeah, we’ll work with whoever we have to.  We have to help the American worker.  We have to help the countries from which the American workers — I mean, they came out of these companies — they were doing phenomenally well.  You saw where payroll was going way up, where wages were going way, way up.  There’s never been a time like this. We can’t lose those companies and we want the worker to be happy.  And we’re being, I think, more generous than anybody has ever been.  We want to take care of the worker, but we want to make sure that when we win the war — it’s only a question of — it’s “when,” not “if.”  When we win the war against the virus, we want to make sure those companies are ready to charge forward — not that they’ve been disbanded because we were pennywise and dollar foolish."
