In the primary election, Trump has to win a significant number of conservative voters. Once he runs in the general election, he will have to pick up some votes from moderate and undecided voters to win the election - thus it would be in his self interest at that point to sound more moderate. In explaining his past support of Bill Clinton, Trump has admitted that he will say things based on his self interest rather than what he truly believes. So, I am simply saying that since it is in his self interest to say conservative things at the moment can we trust that he really means what he is currently saying. Or is he just saying what we want to hear because that will help him get nominated.

Each and every person running for office will do the same, regardless of what political bent, which is why I don't believe your assertions are relevant.
