But the anti-Trump crowd will call him a flip flopper. All the candidates change their minds on issues at one time of another. It’s called being flexible and looking at additional information on a given subject. None of believe the same things we used to believe when we were younger - at least I hope not.
He said And I Saw it, “you got to do something” he never said “take them in”
Trump is a quick learner. He sees Europe doesn’t know if these men are Al Queda, Isis, Boka Harim etc.
My opinion is if the rich Arab states ain’t doing anything to help, taking in refuges, neither is it our business either.

Younger, sure. But these flips come in a matter of days - even hours.
Look at his walking back his remarks on Carly Fiorina as we speak for example.
His mouth is what will ultimately be his downfall.
The Syrian “refugee” problem is very recent, Trump needed some time to think it through. You just can’t have some reporter stick a microphone in your face and come up with the perfect answer right away. Trump has been very busy on the campaign trail and he isn’t a professional politician who has a team of campaign strategists to research every possible question that any reporter can ask him. Trump is spontaneous which is a good thing, he can think on his feet and it will be a good quality to have when he is president.
Many professional politicians are not as smart as they sound. They have been on the political team for ten or twenty years. They have worked their way up the political system from local to state government. They are picked by political “talent scouts”, introduced to all the right people and carefully groomed to say just the right thing to just the right group that you are talking to (like Jeb speaking in Spanish on Spanish tv).
When Trump becomes president he will have advisers but you can see that his strong sense of individuality will not let him become a sock puppet.
