Disgraced former President Trump was somewhat surprisingly true to his word in hyping a “statement” about his abortion policy goals… by completely reversing his stated goal for a national 15 or 16 week ban and now saying it’s up to the states. It’s in the middle of this lengthy load of bullshit that he starts with more than a minute of false platitudes about supporting IVF (skipped ahead past it), then falsely accuses Democrats of murdering live babies and claiming that both sides hated Roe v Wade. “We must win, we have to win,” was the overall message here, that Trump’s trying to defuse abortion as an issue while still taking credit for appointing the justices that killed it.
His forced-birther fans aren’t going to be happy about this. They should, as he’s telling them point-blank that they matter less than not antagonizing moderate voters opposed to abortion bans.
