On Monday’s NBC Today, correspondent Peter Alexander framed Donald Trump’s adoption of various liberal policy positions as evidence of his “flexibility” as a candidate: “Trump showing plenty of flexibility on the issues, now open to a minimum wage increase after opposing it during the primaries. Shifting positions on taxes, too. His plan calls for cuts for everybody, which he contradicted last month on Today.”
In the segment that followed Alexander’s report, co-host Savannah Guthrie observed: “Meanwhile, he's changed and moved to the left on a couple of positions he took during the primary, which will not endear him to these conservatives that he's trying to win over....now he's open to raising the minimum wage and maybe there should be....tax hikes for wealthy.”
