And just how would The Donald ensure that the funds provided to PP for “non-abortion services” NOT be used for abortion services?
Donald Trump will give us whiplash as he switches positions depending on what crows he is in front of.
That's a gotcha question! How dare you ask The Donaldtm to think through, much less explain, the ramifications of his statements?
we’ll just fill up the shallow end of the pool
That is practically impossible. PP could technically use the taxpayer funds for non-abortion services and reroute donations used for those services to abortions.
But I guess if The Donald, our conservative savior, thinks PP is OK, it must be OK. /sarc
No assurances can be given whatsoever, it's just the opposite. Money is fungible whether from government taxpayer largess or private donations.
Trump's brain seems to be fungible on this subject...and he'd better clear it up fast.

He does not seem to understand that since 1976 the feds have prohibited funding to go for abortions. However, the funding keeps the doors open so it allows them to do abortions.
It’s just a game. Someone needs to give Trump the facts on this.
Exactly! Money is fungible.
Meaning: The bum who promises that he won't spend the $5 you give him on booze might be telling the truth! All he has to do is re-dedicate the other $5 he had been planning to use for cigarettes to booze - and then use the $5 you gave him for cigarettes.

Surely Trump, as a businessman, realizes that money is fungible, and thus funding Planned Parenthood’s “non-abortion services” vs. funding abortions is a distinction without a difference.
