True.  He had no official policy.  (Not that that matters as he has changed his official policies over and over.)

However:

Quote:Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump, supports pay equality at least in theory. However, in practice it’s hard to pin him down. Mr. Trump claims to “cherish” women, often using his wife, Melania, and daughter, Ivanka, as examples of his feminism within the Trump organization, yet his official position on the gender pay gap remains elusive.

Mr. Trump has no official policy for the wage gap listed on his campaign website. He told MSNBC hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough that “women should have absolute access to capital.” He then added, “If they do the same job, they should get the same pay.” Yet his campaign has no official policy on pay equality. Moreover, according to data examined by The Boston Globe, the Trump presidential campaign employs few women and pays them less than their male colleagues. In fact, one former staffer is suing the Trump organization for sex discrimination. In the complaint, the former staffer alleges she was paid less and not allowed to plan or speak at rallies unlike her male colleagues.

Nonetheless saying it is a non-issue for the GOP while the gap triples under them is pretty telling.
