Conservatives are aloud to be upset with this and many are it seems.

This is a good example of why Trump is not a Conservative.

He never has been. He's far better than any choice we've had, but to say he's a conservative would be false.

Trump is a Populist who (occasionally) subscribes to Conservative ideals and principles such as pro-life, pro second amendment, for example.

That doesn't make him a Conservative.

I know that's going to piss some people off on here, too bad. It's true.

That doesn't make President Trump a bad person, it makes him an ally to at least some core Conservative principles, and I'll gladly take that as a win all day long.

Do I agree with everything President Trump does? No, but that's irrelevant because I LOVED President Reagan (who was a Democrat before becoming a Republican) and I didn't agree with everything he did either.

On balance, they're the two best Presidents of my 63 years on this planet. When I vote for President, I vote for the person who I think will make the best decision, knowing I won't always agree with them on everything, and that they have access to data points I do not. On that point, President Reagan and President Trump deliver. Hands down, better than any other President in my lifetime.
