Trump is still under th delusion that he can still make Democrats like him and treat him fairly. He hasn’t learned a thing.
And if we’re a party that’s not concerned with protecting life, only bartering for it then we’re wasting our time.
Look, I’m grateful to Trump for nominating three conservative justices which led to the overturning of Roe. But now we live in a different time.
He doesn’t understand that the left doesn’t care about life, abortion, or women. They are means to an end. They are just the issues they use to demonize and attack the right.
Politically, Trump is right. Arguing for abortion bans is not a winning political issue right now. The left and the media collude to make pro-lifers seem like extremists. We need to work hard to show the extremism of the left. I could even see if Trump said something like he personally believes that abortion should be banned but won’t push anything under 12 weeks until there’s more of a consensus. That I could at least understand. But this cavalier manner of dealing with an issue of life or death is disturbing. He doesn’t understand moral decisions, only political ones.
He is not a pro-life leader. He never was. He used us. We used him. But I don’t think he’s the right guy for the next step.
Laws protecting the unborn are not a “terrible mistake.” They are the hallmark of a just and moral society. Governors who protect life should be applauded, not attacked.

And while we’re at it, men can’t become women. This is also based on a simple biological reality and one… https://t.co/1NBSE4zhwn

I think you’re wrong about Trump’s motivation here. It’s not that he hopes the Democrats will be nice to him, it’s that he is an egomaniac who is furious at anyone who refuses to grovel at his feet. That’s why he also sided with Disney against DeSantis. As for Trump’s beliefs, I’ve never been convinced they are different from the average corporate Democrat’s beliefs, though he is certainly no idealogue — he judges everything merely as ir relates to him. He is NOT a conservative by any means; he is aping the role, and doing so badly.

I’m not certain why Trump would say that banning abortion at a particular week is a ‘terrible mistake’ but I will say this. I do NOT care if he used us, we used him or any other motivation. What I DO know is that he was the catalyst that overturned RvW by appointing the right justices. THAT is what counts in my book. He may not be an authentic pro-life leader but he accomplished, by the grace of God, more than ANY other president in the cause of the unborn. He may not talk the talk but he certainly WALKED the walk no matter what his motivation. God as always, uses people to accomplish His will. Catholic or not.
Compare that with pious, devout Joseph Biden. He’s a murderous little crime slut who cares even less about people than(as they say)Trump does. Listen to him talk and then look at what he does. No one ever said Trump was perfect. They call him a liar. Biden isn’t? They call Trump a womanizer. Biden isn’t ? They say Trump is a dictator. What is Biden trying to do to the 2nd Amendment? Why have the democrats colluded with the media to disperse misinformation(lies) as if Goebbels is running them?
Say what they will, but between Trump and Biden, Biden is just a Klingon on Trumps arse. Between Trump and Biden? Who is better for the unborn? Our liberties? Our 2nd Amendment rights? Our freedom of religion? Our 1st Amendment? Disagree? Fine, vote for the dems. You can have them.
Trump is not the Messiah, nor is any other candidates. I am not voting for a saint but for a leader who has our country’s interest at heart. Biden? I throw up in my mouth every I see him on TV

If you don’t understand (or care about) his motivations, you have ZERO basis for confidence in his future actions. When he tells you pro-life legislation is bad, you should listen. When he supports “Disney” (sorry, Walt) and all their perversity, you should listen. He’s telling you who he is. And that’s on top of his speculation that a president could pardon himself, which would make him above the law and accountable to no one.

He may say many abhorrent things but look at what he did during his presidency. Politicians say anything they want without repurcussions. They lie right to your face and not blink and we still vote for them. But oh no! if Trump does it the world is at an end!! If you feel you can’t trust him, then be my guest and vote democrat since they are so much more trustworthy. If there is ANYBODY I CAN’T trust its the democrats. Trump has said many things when he campaigned in 2016 yet I KNOW what my life was like under Trump compared to this parasite that now holds the office of the Presidency. If you are looking for the perfect candidate then you are living on the sniffing what Hunter is sniffing as Biden.
