What do you think about this video in 1999?

Which is followed up by this current commentary:

“I am not sure I have,” Trump said when asked if he’d ever asked God for forgiveness. “I just go on and try to do a better job from there. I don’t think so,” he said. “I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don’t bring God into that picture. I don’t.”

Here is how I view that statement. Which I remember. (It isn’t from 1999, his pro-abortion statement in the video is.)

I consider that he views (as do I) my personal relationship with God a very private thing, my most private thing. I may talk to my closest friends to some degree, or online in discussions to an even lesser degree. But there are aspects of my personal private spiritual relationship that I never disclose to anyone. And anything Trump says, he knows will be picked apart and dissected, vivisected and twisted by a media who hates him and two political parties who hate him.

So I consider that is a public statement but not indicative of his relationship with God.

I am sorry that it took him so long to become pro-life, better late than never. Also I read something he said (direct quote) that shortly after that 1999 interview, he spoke with a doctor about exactly what partial birth abortion is, and changed his month totally about it when hearing, he had not known what it was.

I am not trying to provide cover for him. I wish he had been pro-life for decades. But we are where we are, and thus I support him, after doing a lot of reading and listening.
