He has been both pro- choice and anti-choice; he is in favor of guns in the classroom but not teachers having guns; he is for workers but frequently doesn’t pay contractors he hires for completed work and is against a federal raise in the minimum wage; he’s against Wall Street but boasts huge real estate profits out of the housing collapse and subsequent foreclosures and human misery it caused. In 2009 Trump urged President Obama and Congress to take action on global warming arguing if we don’t: “it is scientifically irrefutable that there will be catastrophic and irreversible consequences for humanity and our planet.” Flipping again, he now argues against climate rules and the International Paris Agreement accepted by over 170 nations. The answer is that Trump has held every possible position one can hold on every critical issue. We trust him at our peril.
