Ah ... that’s Trump being ‘open book’, ‘nothing to hide’.
Of course he had evil thoughts that made him an abortionists. ALL abortionists are motivated by evil thoughts.
What you heard was a frank confession. Smart of the interviewer to ask him that question too.
Here is my evolution on the abortion issue — worse than his:
When in high school, I saw the [now notorious] artistic depiction of embryos looking like weird creatures before they became human. So ... I was able to dehumanize them in my mind.
That’s creepy of me, isn’t it? How an unborn child looks should be irrelevent. It was a deceitful bit of artwork, BTW. But it helped dehumanize infants.
All pro-abortion people have evil thoughts dancing around in their heads.
I also believed in abortion to prevent overpopulation. But it helped to think that they were ugly deformed creatures. Both evil thoughts helped fortify each other like a cross-beam in my soul.
Then people here on this forum showed me photos of beautiful unborn infants even in the early stages. Blew me away.
Trump admitted that how he was dehumanized was based on a child’s happiness/chances of success/whatever.
That is less creepy than my own.
You forgot the most important part of Trump's statement.
If the child who escaped abortion had been born a "loser" rather than a "superstar," Trump said that he wouldn't have changed his mind regarding abortion.
I can't even begin to wrap my mind around this mindset, but it's perfectly in keeping with Trump's solipsistic world of "winners" and "losers."
