“Trump...Today...says “the free market” is the answer...You can’t honestly hold both points of views.”

No, but you can figure out that you were full of crap and change your point of view. It’s happened to me far too many times for my self-esteem to emerge unscarred.

When I was 20, I was wrong about everything. Down the decades I was forced to change my opinions on every important issue. Now I am among the most conservative of the conservative, and my convictions are no less sincere for having been born of experience rather than early training.

Trump will certainly have heard from many leftards that the Canadian system was good. He would probably have accepted that as the default position of all intelligent people.

Now he finds himself among people who are genuinely intelligent. I’ll bet that somebody showed him some actual figures after the Canadian Health Service comment, and he saw for himself what a disaster it is.

One might say that such a recent change of heart is not to be trusted; I do not argue against that. I don’t trust it very much myself.

However, it might just be a change of opinion based on a review of the facts.

I hope that is based on the review of the facts but I suspect it is more based on what's politically expedient at the moment. It gives me some hope that he's consulting with Bolton, Forbes and Sessions. The question is will he listen and follow through when the going gets tough.
