President Trump changes stance on 4 campaign positions in just 1 day
ABC News ^ | April 13, 2017 | Jordyn Phelps and Alexander Mallin

Posted on 04/13/2017 2:39:45 PM PDT by Navy Patriot

Over the course of just one day, President Trump declared different positions than he took during the campaign on four issues.

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal and at a press conference on Wednesday, President Trump declared that China is not a currency manipulator, entertained the possibility of re-appointing Janet Yellen as chair of the Federal Reserve, asserted that NATO is a relevant alliance and expressed a favorable view of the Export-Import Bank.

On Thursday, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer portrayed the shifts as reactions to changing circumstances rather than an ideological modification.

The important thing is to support Trump, no matter what. If he wants to put Lenin on the $1 bill, there is a very good reason.

He wants hillary to heal.

Not what he promised.

He lied and will not do anything he promised.

He's dramatically reduced regulations, took border security measures that have dramatically decreased border crossings, stepped up the attacks on ISIS, put an originalist on the Supreme Court and signed several EO defunding PP or allowing the states to.

Liberals aren't happy but either are Never Trumpers and those with ridiculous expectations that Reagan didn't meet.

China's currency manipulation is causing more damage to American industry, the American Worker and American society than North Korea's sideshow Bob shenanigans.

So the deal stunk.

“What a load of crap. Trump got major concessions from China on NK and on trade. He’s still pressuring NATO members to pay more.
This is more fake news from liberal media combined with grumbles from Never Trumpers.”

Exactly.

I’m not “angry” at Trump; I’m wary at this point. I know he’s covered with prayer probably all day long, so there’s that...

Of course I’m angry at Congress and their lay-about lazy butts. They had seven frickin’ years to come up with a kick-ass healthcare plan, and then present it to DJT on January 21, 2017, and... nothing. Still nothing. Vacations... ugh.

He has done everything he can by EO.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Not exactly. He told us he would rescind the DACA executive order, he has not.

“You’d have peed your pants if he had agreed to $2 of spending cuts (in the future that never ended up happening) for $1 tax increases like Reagan.”

I lived through the Reagan years with remarkably clean underwear. Reagan exuded confidence, not constant uncertainty.

If you’re not 100 percent in agreement with Trump, which would mean you’ve flipped with him on some issues, then you are a never Trumper.

“Oh great master. Please diagram the strategy.”

I find it hard to believe you are really that dumb.

Give Trump 2 years. Then evaluate. This will save a lot of energy.

“we need a better and more trustworthy nominee for 2020.”

Whom do you have in mind?
Sen Cruz?
Rand Paul?
VP Pence?

Trump isn’t in 100% agreement with Trump. So how could anyone be so?

I am not surprised because Trump has never been a politician and is learning as he goes. Even with the flip flops his Presidency has already been a success in my book.

I thik Trump is one of those people who says...."Convince Me".

If you didn't hear the press conference with the Seretary General of NATO and Trump yesterday, you'll understand.
