• In 1999, Trump said he had joined the Reform Party because Republicans are “just too crazy” right.
• In 2000, he said: “I hate the concept of guns.”
• In 2004: “I identify more as a Democrat.”
• In 2007: Told Wolf Blitzer on CNN’s “The Situation Room” that Hillary Clinton was the most qualified to make a nuclear deal with Iran.
• In 2008: Said he was “impressed” with Rep. Nancy Pelosi, and supported the idea of impeaching then President George W. Bush.
• “I’m going to take care of everybody,” Trump said in September 2015 on CBS’ 60 minutes. When asked how he would pay for it, he lresponded that “the government’s going to take care of it.”
• He thinks affirmative action is okay
• He would fund Planned Parenthood except for abortion. (This is current federal policy, though Trump doesn't seem to know it.)
• He supports a progressive income tax. He does not favor a flat tax.
• He doesn't want to cut Social Security or Medicare.
• He's in favor of a ban on assault weapons.
• He invited Bill and Hillary Clinton to his wedding.
• He doesn't "fully" believe in supply-side economics.
• He hates the Iran deal, but he wouldn't abrogate it after taking office.

  Abortion

  Then: On "Meet The Press" in 1999, Trump said he was "very pro-choice." "I hate the concept of abortion," he said. "I hate it. I hate everything it stands for. ... but I just believe in choice."

  Now: In an interview with Bloomberg Politics in January, Trump said, "I'm pro-life and I have been pro-life." He said he believed there should be exceptions in cases of rape, incest or the life of the mother.

  Guns

  Then: In Trump's 200 book "The America We Deserve," he wrote that he "generally" opposed gun control but supported an assault weapons ban and a longer waiting period to purchase a firearm.

  Now: At the 2015 NRA-ILA Leadership Forum, Trump said if he became president, "the 2nd Amendment will be totally protected." He told the Web site Ammoland he does "not support expanding background checks" and said current background checks "don't work."

  Healthcare

  Then: In an interview with Larry King in 1999, Trump said he was "very liberal when it comes to health care" and that he believes in "universal healthcare." Now: During his announcement, he called Obamacare "a disaster called the big lie" and said the deductibles were so high they were "virtually useless."

  Hillary Clinton

  Then: Either Trump or his son donated to Clinton in 2002, 2005, 2006 and 2007, he invited her to his 2005 wedding in Florida, where she sat front row, and he's donated at least $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation. He also said in an appearance on the Howard Stern show in the mid-2000s that she was a fantastic senator.

  Now: On NBC on Wednesday, he called Clinton "the worst secretary of state in the history of our nation" and said she would be "a terrible president."

  Party affiliation

  Then: Trump changed his party from Republican to Independent Party in 1999, and switched again to Democrat in 2001.

  Now: Has been a registered Republican since 2009.

  There are also some flips which haven't necessarily been from left to right.

  Jeb Bush

  Then: In Trump's 2000 book "The America We Deserve," he called Bush "a good man," "bright, tough and principled," and "exactly the kind of political leader this country needs now and will very much need in the future."

  Now: On Fox News's "On The Record" this week, he called Bush "pathetic" for his support of Common Core, said his immigration views were "baby stuff."

That is not at all what Trump said. Had you listened to the full interview you would have understood. Trump is total misquoted. Nothing new.

[GodGunsGuts]

If Trump hadn’t lost my vote a long time ago, he would have just lost it.

He won’t choose sides between the our terrorist enemies and our democratic allies?

What a loser!

[heights]

Two months ago Israel told Trump they didn’t want him visiting Israel. Let wealthy American Jews support Israel, I’m not interested any longer.

[Trump Won’t Choose Sides Between Israel and Palestine]

Reason enough to vote for TED CRUZ!

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom!

GENESIS 12:3
I will bless those who bless you, I will curse those who treat you with contempt, and all the peoples on earth will be blessed through you.

If course the idiot Levin's CR smears Trump. He has little stomach for a "peace deal," which others he trusts say "cannot be done."

Does Trump have to put on a yarmukle and got to the Wailing Wall to please Levin? Btw, Obama did that too, and has done everything to bury Israel.

[HarleyLady27]

Very smart move by Trump and when asked about this last night he gave a very good answer....

He needs to help America first, and it's people; build a wall; build up the military; take care of the Vets and Wounded Warriors; get our economy back with jobs for our people, instead of what Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Bush and ‘mutt’ has done, so our people have jobs; and then think about other Countries, Israel is our friend and Allies but Israel is also a Sovereign State, like us, and America and Americans come first...

[demkicker]

It’s annoying and giving me a headache to read articles and posts on FR with all of the †symbols. Can’t (here’s another one) apostrophes be used anymore?

[heights]

Maybe if Jews in America funded Israel they wouldn’t have so much cash to fund socialist and leftist in America.

Trump is right down the middle of the progressive tunnel.

Note that Israel has totally ignored Trump, while actually supporting Cruz, both in secular and spiritual channels.

America’s only ally ignores Trump!

Trump has always been a friend of Israel!

Here’s a question for President Trump...

Let’s say we had a repeat of something similar to the Yom Kippur war but this time with Iran invading Israel ... Would he support Israel with arms the way Nixon did

[gdani]

"I don't want to get into it"

Now there's some leadership!

Maybe he could just sue the Israelis and Palestinians.

[libbylu]

Disturbing.

[euram]

Good for Trump. Hopefully, he’ll kick the neo-con warmongers out of the republican party, and send them back to the democrats postage due.

[DoodleDawg]

So he’ll be the best friends Israel ever had AND the best friend the Palestinians ever had? What could possibly go wrong with that?

Your opinion is uninformed. Trump made these comments to a Jewish Republican group earlier in the campaign, to which they understood Trump’s point, which is ...

“How can you negotiate with the parties when you make comments that indicate you have your thumb on the scale for one party over the other?”

Who would attend such a mediation?

[wildbill]

That’s the problem with people who see themselves primarily as deal makers. They have no binding principles that make up what most of us know as ‘character’ so they have no qualms about changing their positions.

I love Trump’s rhetoric about lots of issues and that he won’t be politically correct BUT..

Can’t we find someone who says basically the same things about immigration, jihadism, and the exploding debt without the nagging worry that he will sell us out to make a deal? He said on ABC Morning show the other day that: “I’m capable of changing into anything I want to be.”

What if he wants to turn to the left and be a liberal again?

[Let's Roll]

I guess the Pope was right - Trump ain’t no Christian.
