Trump Calls For Action Against Wall Street Demonstrators

Business mogul Donald Trump said Monday evening that the majority of those protesting in New York’s financial district are simply there for no reason.

During a telephone town hall event with GOP presidential hopeful Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), Trump said “Those camping out in Wall Street – many are just having a good time at other people’s expense. Many didn’t know why they were there.”

“At some point something is going to have to be done,” he added.

The rest of the town hall focused on what Bachmann would do to fix the nation’s ailing economy and repair its healthcare system. Trump lent support to Bachmann’s calls to repeal President Obama’s healthcare reform law, as well as her ideas to help small businesses.

Earlier in the day, an aide to Trump told TRNS that his participation in the event did not constitute an endorsement of Bachmann.
