stuff like this means very little. i know trump SAID a lot of stuff that would be considered leftist but i'm talking about stuff he actually did. he said he "would look into" bernie's minimum wage plan during the campaign of the '16 election but he never executed the plan.

Entry level wages for fast food jobs in many parts of the US are now substantially higher than what the Democrats were proposing. So, Trump succeeded in raising wages, and he did it without having to raise the minimum wage by law.

that's not really a leftist point. right-wing people are totally fine with working class people having jobs.

Or with them not having jobs. Whichever makes the capitalist class more money. Over the last 40 years, the general trend has been to ship jobs to whichever countries can supply labor at the lowest cost. This increases profits and also lowers prices for middle class consumers, but it's really bad for the working class.
