Trump agreeing with the GOPE is a GOPE attack on Trump.
That is some weird logic

Yep. The irony is the GOPe actually wants its candidates to sound like Trump on this issue (pro life & pro woman), if anyone has followed politics for the past 15 years.
But because it's Trump they have to act outraged. It's all a game.
Summed up nicely here...
And we wonder why people are deeply alienated from politics? First, lets just tell the truth: Approximately 98 percent of the professional politicians, pundits, and consultants embroiled in the conversation over Trumps comments about Kelly, in which he may or may not have said that her tough questions at Thursdays GOP debate were due to menstruation, are most assuredly not offended or outraged by his words. Quite the opposite: In the political world, there is something like an electric shock of glee that passes through the community when someone says something outrageous.
Controversy is energizing. Consultants, candidates, and pundits immediately begin working the angles how can they exploit the latest gaffe, the latest misstatement, the latest offense against decency to advance their candidate or their cause? Outrage is a tool, the means to accomplish the ends of personal and political advancement.
