President Donald Trump has expressed openness to increasing taxes on millionaires, saying he 'loves the concept' and wouldn't mind paying more himself.
However, he admits that supporting such a tax could be politically risky and might cost Republicans elections.

The discussion comes as scrutiny continues over Trump's own relatively low federal tax payments in recent years.
Ultimately, Trump suggests that while he supports the idea in theory, he is unlikely to pursue it due to potential public and political resistance.
