The Republican presidential nominee was pressed to provide a specific number by Fox News host Bill O’Reilly, who said “there has to be a federal minimum wage.”
Trump initially dismissed that.

“There doesn’t have to be,” Trump said. “I would leave it and raise it somewhat. You need to help people. I know it’s not very Republican to say.”

“Ten bucks?” O’Reilly asked.

“I would say 10. I would say 10,” Trump agreed. “But with the understanding that somebody like me is going to bring back jobs. I don’t want people to be in that $10 category for very long. But the thing is, Bill, let the states make the deal.”
