MSNBC's Chris Jansing: Donald Trump 'Not About the Little Guy,' Wants 'Tax Breaks for the Rich'

(By Alex Fitzsimmons, NewsBusters.org) - Interviewing Donald Trump this morning, MSNBC's Chris Jansing put on her Democratic strategist hat to press the real estate mogul with liberal talking points.

After Trump, responding to Jansing's question about what he would do to fix the economy, suggested cutting taxes to spur economic growth, the host of Jansing & Co. groused: "A lot of people sitting out there, with all due respect, saying spoken like a true businessman but not about the little guy. Tax breaks for the rich, not for the middle class."

Not missing a beat, Trump retorted: "But Chris we're the highest-taxed nation in the world, as it stands right now. And that's a pretty bad statement when you think of it."
