Summary

After voting in Florida, Donald Trump refused to reveal his stance on a state ballot measure that would prevent restrictions on abortion until fetal viability, around 21 weeks. The measure would overturn Florida’s current six-week abortion ban if approved.

Trump, who appointed conservative justices instrumental in overturning Roe v. Wade, avoided directly answering reporters’ questions, snapping at one to “stop talking about it.”

His stance on abortion has been inconsistent, previously criticizing the six-week ban as too strict but also labeling Democrats as “radical” on the issue.

The Florida measure is one of several abortion-related ballot initiatives in nine states, potentially impacting millions of women’s access to abortion.

And I bet that shitty journalist did exactly what Trump told him to do

Oh, look, I’m right.

Sorry please explain. Do you mean he made her shut up?

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No. The journalist let Trump get away with not answer answering.

Trump: "What do you advise I say on abortion?"

Trump advisor: "Just... just stop talking about abortion."

Trump, 10 minutes later to a journalist: "Stop talking about abortion!"

Completely unrealistic. Trump would never ask for advice.

Only the biggest piece of shit to run for president! Remember when mitt Romney seemed like the fucking devil? Those were the days.

Trump makes GW Bush look intelligent, aware of international issues and statesmanlike. I didn't used to think that that was possible

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

I agree. In reality they may not be terribly different knowledge wise but it makes a lot of difference when someone acts like a human vs acting confidently incorrect (lying) all day every day.

You can tell this is the one issue he has no real stance on. His handlers are telling him he has to pander, but he's comically bad at it.

This means that for everything else, if you ever wonder if he truly believes the shit that comes out of his mouth, he absolutely does. We know what he sounds like when he doesn't.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

Bro that doesn't look like Melania

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

You can't feel bad for him. He did this to himself by listening to the sweatiest and grossest Republicans

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Well that's not foreboding at all.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Gee I wonder why

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Well that means we have to ask every.fucking.time .

"Mr PeeResident, have you changed your stance and goals on human rights and how it extends to bodily autonomy for women?"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

now he says stop, two years later they will "dig" some dirt on the reporter and put him in prison
