After previously saying wages were "too high," Trump instead stressed Sunday and again Monday that they were actually "too low."

"Wages in are country are too low, good jobs are too few, and people have lost faith in our leaders. We need smart and strong leadership now!" Trump tweeted Monday morning.

The apparent shift came after Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont), a Democratic presidential candidate, said in a Sunday interview that his message would resonate among Trump's working-class supporters.

"Look, many of Trump's supporters are a working-class people, and they're angry," Sanders said on CBS' "Face the Nation," according to the show's transcript. "And they're angry because they're working longer hours for lower wages. They're angry because their jobs have left this country and gone to China or other low-wage countries."

Sanders added: "In fact, he has said that he thinks wages in America are too high."

Trump responded by accusing Sanders of lying:

Trump responded by accusing Sanders of lying:

Only Sanders DIDNT lie...

"Our taxes are too high. Our wages are too high. We have to compete with other countries," Trump said again on Wednesday morning in an interview on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," where he was pressed on whether people can live on the current federal minimum wage of $7.25.
