In MARCH 2009...Trump was against Obama’s agenda. I think your assessment is wrong.

He wasn’t defending Obama in March of ‘09.
That's a Hannity clip of Trump, That prostitute wasnt going to kiss Obama on the RNC Hannity show. But here's an example of him on more liberal CNN:
Larry King: Is Obama right or wrong to go after these executives with salary caps?
Donald Trump: Well, I think he's absolutely right. Billions of dollars is being given to banks and others. You know, once you start using taxpayer money, it's a whole new game. So I absolutely think he's right. King: What about the whole concept of bailouts? Trump: Well, it's a little bit different. A lot of people are not in favor of bailouts. You know, we talked about all the different things going on in this country. Let's face it, Larry, we are in a depression. If they didn't do the bailout, you would be in depression No. 2 and maybe just as big as depression No. 1, so they really had to do something. The problem is they're giving millions and billions of dollars to banks and the banks aren't loaning it. ” “Trump: Well, I'd vote for a stimulus plan. I'm not sure that all of the things in there are appropriate. Some of the little toys that they have are not really appropriate, and they're a little surprising that they seem to want it, because the publicity on it has been terrible. I would certainly vote for a stimulus, but I would really vote for banks having to loan out the money because they're not doing that. CNN: "Trump: Obama 'absolutely right' on executive pay cap"(February 5, 2009)
I saw him on TV defend Obama after the stimulus was passed and say that Obama was handed a huge mess but he is doing a great job.
On one hand he wants the banks that got bailouts to be forced to cap bonuses, then he wants congress to force banks to give out loans again so they can fail again so he can bail them out again? Jeeze....
