I’ve been here longer than you (since you bring up how long people have been here).
So in other words you are too lazy to look up stuff yourself and anyone who says something contrary to your views without a reference is full of shit...
Here’s your “internet” story:
http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2011/04/enter_the_donald_take_two.html
The references contained in that should lead back to the original source.
There is NO context that fixes single payer. And 15 years ago for a 69 year old isn’t that long ago on something so fundamental.
He also proposed taxing all wealth “one time”, not income, but wealth over ten million dollars at nearly 15%... Oh ya, that’s real constitutional... Open that Pandora’s box and see where it leads...
And you go on about words being meaningless without context well Trump is all words these days and his history is the only context available and you want to ignore that.
Here’s Trump on eminent domain:

This was 4 years ago long before TDS so you can’t blame this story on that. Just because something isn’t illegal doesn’t make it ethical or proper. He’s forced people to court which is a pretty awful experience just to retain their rights to their own property because he couldn’t close the deal any other way. With Kelo that barrier has been breached.
Trump has expressed little interest in the constitutional limits of government from what I’ve seen.
I don’t doubt Trump has good intentions regarding is run. Many liberals have good intentions. Intentions are not enough. In order to actually get there there has to be core principles based on the constitution and limited government.
And last but not least, if all you have to offer is personal snark, don’t bother.
From your ‘internet story’:
> “”We must have universal healthcare,” wrote Trump. “I’m a conservative on most issues but a liberal on this one. We should not hear so many stories of families ruined by healthcare expenses.””
That’s a quote from a book he wrote (The America We Deserve) published in January 2000.
Is that the best you can do?
You’re fired!
Basically, he's sticking his fingers in his ears and saying “la la la, I can't hear you!”
