Trump is not Pro-Life or Pro-Choice, he's just Pro-Trump. Whichever position gets him votes is the one he'll go with at that time.

On abortion, he doesn’t care.

In his addled mind, if he can get one vote from someone who doesn’t want abortion, he’ll say he’s against it. If he can get one vote from someone who wants abortion rights, he’s for that.

He doesn’t think beyond that.

He is not pro-choice or pro-life. He is pro-staying-out-of-jail.

Does anyone really believe that tRump does anything with his ballot other than mark his own name.

You know, that's something interesting to consider. How many of the down ballot races and measures does he vote for...

I know that some of my conservative friends are disappointed in Trump, but they are rationalizing his public change as a way to get elected.

I agree that’s why he’s changing, but I’ve always felt that’s why he was against abortion earlier. I never believed he gave a damn. He’s used prolife groups like he used Stormy Daniels.

Sounds like the Missouri voters need some education. How can you support abortion rights AND Josh Hawley who holds some of the most extreme views on the issue? He's not just anti-abortion, he also voted against access to in vitro fertilization and against the Right to Contraception Act.

You're spot-on with Harris' historic run not being a focal point for the press. The only time I really heard it referenced was by commentators on the night of her convention speech. Harris rising to the top of the ticket has introduced a dose of adrenaline into this campaign I haven't seen since '08. Reproductive rights are a big part of it as well. When you strip millions of people of their bodily autonomy, they're not just going to forget about it. Plus, DJT reminding us daily on his Dollar Tree Twitter of his well-documented history of misogyny isn't helping him with the suburban women (the ones outside his cult) he needs to win.

Hi David. Thanks for your note. BLUF is a military acronym for 'Bottom Line Up Front.' It's not as exciting as the meaning of SNAFU.

I believe BLUF is a military acronym which means to get to the most important point first.

If you really want to know his position on abortion, all you have to do is find on YouTube his press conference that was 100% about the abortion amendment ballot in Florida that he will be voting on.

About a month ago, he gave a conference at Mar-a-Largo, and when asked about that vote in November, he said he has already planned a press conference where he’ll explain how he plans to vote. In two weeks from that point.

It’s all there, just look it up.

Jamie - I think there is a mistake on the Rap Sheet. The link you shared states he used Telegram, not Zelle.
