Here is a short list on Trump's liberal past. Has he truly changed, or is he just saying what he needs to say to try to get your vote?

I am unaware of any conservative who has given 6-digit figures to the Clinton Foundation. Trump has.

I am unaware of any conservative who wants to ban "assault weapons". There is no such thing you know. "Assault weapon" is a term created by anti-gun liberals so they could ban guns based on cosmetic appearances...and Trump, being the liberal that he is, fell for it.

I am unaware of any conservative who has said they want to extend the waiting periods to purchase a gun. Trump has.

I am unaware of any conservative who has praised as "Brilliant" gun-grabbing leftist Michael Bloomberg for "Putting His Money Where His Mouth Is" on guns. Trump did just that.

I am unaware of any conservative saying they "identify more as Democrat". Trump has.

I am unaware of any conservative saying "the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans". Trump said just that.

I am unaware of any conservative saying “Bush was probably the worst president in the history of the United States.” Trump said just that.

I am unaware of any conservative saying “I’m very liberal when it comes to health care. I believe in universal health care.” Trump said just that.

Conservatives Rehnquist, Scalia and Thomas ruled against the Kelo Decision, which was the taking of a private individual's property, not for "public use" as is normally the case with eminent domain, but to give it to private industry as was done with Kelo (it was taken and given to Pfizer). Being the crony capitalist he is, Trump said he was "100% for it".

All of the gun control concerns you mention are from 15 years ago.

Trump appears to be much more supportive of gun rights now. He was for controls on assault weapons, and a longer waiting period.

Those however are from 15 years ago. Trump has changed since then. I don’t know if he has reversed those opinions, but he doesn’t seem to have repeated them in 15 years. If you have more recent examples, please present them.

Thank you.
