Here's what Donald Trump thinks of hedge fund managers

On this, the Donald is pretty similar to Hillary.

Hedge fund managers can now add themselves to the list of people leading Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has put squarely in his crosshairs.

The Donald called these money managers “paper-pushers” and claimed they don’t pay as much as they should in taxes, according to The Financial Times.

He went even farther, saying that hedge fund mangers just “got lucky”:

“They are energetic,” he said on CBS. “They are very smart. But a lot of them — they are paper-pushers. They make a fortune. They pay no tax. It’s ridiculous, OK? The hedge fund guys didn’t build this country. These are guys that shift paper around and they get lucky.”

On this, Trump is actually pretty similar to his Democratic rivals Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, both of whom have criticized the tax rule for hedge funds.
