I don’t care. His record is his record. While the some of us on here were fighting the establishment in 2010, 2012, 2014 elections. He was nowhere to be found. But now he’s a champion of the cause? Spare me the BS.

If you’d taken the time to honestly vet Trump over the course of this primary, you wouldn’t be making such charges. You’d know by now that he has always held strongly pro-American values, and (like most of us) has become increasingly conservative during his life.
He really isn’t the newcomer to conservative ideals that some make him out to be. It’s true that he brought a lot of criticism upon himself for some of his public statements espousing support for positions we consider to be liberal. Yep, guilty as charged, and he’s paying the price for having made those comments, by now having a harder time reaching folks like you.
Understand though, he wasn’t a politician when he said those things. He was a citizen just speaking his mind. Just like you and I do. Unfortunately for Trump, he was a famous person then, and people cared enough about his opinion to record what he said. I can only imagine what I myself sounded like twenty, thirty, or even forty years ago. I can almost guarantee you that I didn’t sound like a movement conservative.
Yet somehow, I’m forgiven for having held less than conservative ideals at an earlier age.
The point I’m making is, Trump didn’t suddenly jump ship to the conservative side a year or so back. He’s been saying a lot of the same things since the 80s. Things that are certifiably conservative. You can find it all if you just scratch below the surface.
