Former President Donald Trump claimed Friday that his efforts to overturn Roe v. Wade have created “very, very beautiful harmony” at the state level.
He made the statement during a joint press conference with embattled House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), who has been targeted with a motion to vacate by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).
One reporter asked, “Mr. President, while you were in office, you said that you would sign a federal abortion ban if Congress sent it to your desk. Why should Americans trust your word that you would not do it now if you were re-elected?”
Trump answered, “Because we don’t need it any longer. Because we broke Roe v. Wade and we did something that nobody thought was possible; We gave it back to the states.” Trump continued:
"And the states are working very brilliantly, in some cases conservative and some cases not conservative, but they’re working, and it’s working the way it’s supposed to. Every legal scholar, real legal scholar, wanted to have it go back to the states. Democrat, Republican, liberal, conservative, and we are able to do that.
"You know, what we did was give it back to the states, and now the states are working their way through it, and you are having some very, very beautiful harmony, to be honest with you. You have, well, you have some cases like Arizona that went back to like 1864 or something like that, and a judge made a ruling, but that’s going to be changed by government. They are going to be changing that. I disagree with that."
Political strategists have deemed the abortion issue a “loser” for Republicans, as evidenced by losses for GOP candidates in 2022 and 2023.

Re: 10 - any evidence to support your claim of one billion dead due to a virus?
I mean, other than you getting sick?
When even the boss is questioning why all of the anti-Trump articles are being posted ... it may be time to give it a rest, Miami N00bie.
My estimation is over one billion dead in the next twelve months.
Oh, noes!!
