Political positions of Donald Trump
wikipedia.org ^

Posted on 03/22/2016 10:43:30 PM PDT by Citizen Zed

Donald Trump is a New York businessman, reality show host and a Republican candidate in the 2016 United States presidential election.

His politics have been described as populist,[1] nativist,[2][3][4] protectionist[5][6] and authoritarian[7][8].

Trump has described his political positions in various and often contradictory ways over time.[9][10][11][12] Politico has described his positions as "eclectic, improvisational and often contradictory."[12]

Trump calls himself a conservative Republican,[13] while others describe him as a moderate Republican.[14] His stances on illegal immigration, free trade agreements, and military interventionism, as well as his support for social security, has often put him in conflict with Republican Party establishment positions.[15]

Trump has said of his positions: "I will be changing very rapidly. I'm capable of changing to anything I want to change to."[16] The New York Times writes that "waffling, flip-flopping and inconsistencies, all of which might hobble a conventional candidate, have not dimmed Mr. Trump's appeal to his Republican supporters."[17]

How many edits has that page gone under since its creation? It’s gotta have a very long “history” page already.

Trump’s short record as a politician hardly deviates.

There's usually an edit in the morning when Trump lays out a position, an edit in the afternoon when Trump lays out a contradictory position, then an edit in the evening when Trump calls someone a liar for challenging him on his flip-flop.

You need to ease up you Trump zealot.

If you don’t like negative comments about Trump start your own web forum and you can ‘zot’ comments you don’t like. I suspect you’ll be a very busy man.....................

You're far too generous. Trump has been known to contradict himself and call Cruz a liar for quoting it, all in the same sentence.

But it will allow him to continue to live in the “Trump is awesome and a National Treasure” echo chamber
