Trump is a populist and railing against Wall Street fat cats is as old as the hills. The base of the party don't see hedge fund managers as 'job creators' who need to be defended. It is also another position that pits Trump against Bush (Donald's favorite thing to do). He wants some journalist to ask Bush if he is for this. Bush knows that 'the Buffet Rule' is popular and being seen to be another Romney-like tool of Wall Street is bad for the general so it puts him in a bind. Just like Trump position on immigration got Bush in a bind on 'anchor babies', Trump wants to see Bush get tied into knots defending Wall Street. Classic trolling, and somewhat brilliant.
