How exactly Trump is a liberal?

Don't look at what he says now when he wants your vote. Look at his history.

1) “I probably identify more as Democrat.” —Interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, March 2004

2) “I’ve been around for a long time. And it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans.” —Interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, March 2004

3) “Nancy — you’re the best. Congrats. Donald.” —Handwritten note to Speaker Nancy Pelosi, January 2007

4) “Bush is probably the worst president in the history of the United States.” —Interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, March 2007

5) “I’m totally pro-choice.” —Interview with Fox News Sunday, October 1999

6) “I want to see the abortion issue removed from politics. I believe it is a personal decision that should be left to the women and their doctors.” —Remarks to reporters, December 1999

7) “I’m very liberal when it comes to health care. I believe in universal health care.” —Interview with CNN’s Larry King, October 1999.

8) “The Canadian plan also helps Canadians live longer and healthier than Americans… We need, as a nation, to reexamine the single-payer plan.” —Writing in his book, The America We Deserve, January 2000

9) “By imposing a one-time 14.25 percent net-worth tax on the richest individuals and trusts, we can put America on sound financial footing for the next century.” —Writing in his book, The America We Deserve, January 2000

10) “I think he [Obama] has a chance to go down as a great president.” —Interview with NY1, November 2008

Trump’s donation history shows Democratic favoritism

He has given money to what looks like a Republican enemies list, including Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Charles Rangel, Charles Schumer, Edward Kennedy, the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee of New York. He donated $10,400 to Harry Reid, including for his 2010 battle with Sharron Angle, the GOP nominee and tea party favorite. He has also been pro abortion. You're free to call all this what you'd like. I call it liberal.

But he says he’s now pro-life and conservative! He’s an even more liberal Mitt Romney with bad hair.

1) meaningless comment, have to know context
2) I am in stock market for 53 years, and have absolutely made more profits during democrats
3) Another meaningless comment, have to know context
4) Based on the Iraq fiasco, Wall Street Bank Bailouts, and adding one more entitlement for ever (prescription meds) Bush-43 in my lifetime was the worst republican president
5) Abortion is a divisive issue, and abortions continued under all presidents in my lifetime.
6) see 5)
7) I also believe in Universal Healthcare administered by PRIVATE corporations, to include competition from outside states, guaranteed portability, etc. Canadians are in better health overall than Americans. Could be their healthcare system
8) see 7)
9) That is the most conservative fiscal agenda I have ever heard of. Our growing national debt is the biggest danger to our country, much bigger than ISIS will ever be, IMO.
10) Based on what lies Obama told prior to 2009, that statement could have been true, since no one knew they were lies, in Nov 2008.

But who is after him now that he is speaking his mind? Those very people he once greased the palm of to get ahead. The left hates him and are out in front of bashing Trump. Like him or hate him and I have been on both ends of that spectrum, he made some good points in his speech today. Nobody talks about how China is going to pass us up as the Number one economy and is taking our jobs away. Nobody talks about how much we owe other countries and how China and Japan and sustaining us by loaning us money we gave them in the 80s and 90s with interest. Nobody is willing to deal with Mexico, our borders and the fact mexico is also taking away jobs. Those issues are off the table. Ingnored by the lap dog media.

Excellent work!

I think Trump is single minded. Money. Otherwise he seems thoughtless on so called “social” issues, because maybe he deems they have nothing to do with his money, or the economy.

He is truly no-party, belongs to no one. Under Boehner and McConnell, and the RNC, that may not be a bad thing. He acts as out of control. But, is he really?
