Trump talks what ever he likes and makes statements which people do not like.Trump has switched his stands on everything from his signature border wall to his rather low opinion of the man he is replacing in the Oval Office. He has a way to go to before he matches the sheer volume of self-disagreement that he racked up prior to Election Day, but his batting average over his brief time as the 45th president is perfection itself—15 about-faces in 15 days.
1.“I think president Obama has been the most ignorant president in our history…President Obama when he became president, he didn’t know anything. This guy didn’t know a thing. And honestly, today he knows less. Today, he knows less. He has done a terrible job
2. “I have great respect…I very much look forward to dealing with the President in the future, including counsel. He explained some of the difficulties, some of the high-flying assets and some of the really great things that have been achieved
3.“Just had a very open and successful presidential election. Now professional protesters, incited by the media, are protesting. Very unfair!”
4.“Love the fact that the small groups of protesters last night have passion for our great country. We will all come together and be proud!”
5. “I like those [the prohibition against insurers denying coverage because of patients’ existing conditions and a provision that allows parents to provide years of additional coverage for children on their insurance policies] very much.”
6.“Jeb Bush just talked about my border proposal to build a “fence.” It’s not a fence, Jeb, it’s a WALL, and there’s a BIG difference.
7.“If I’m elected, I would be very strong on putting certain judges on the bench that I think maybe could change things…I don’t like the way they ruled…I would strongly consider [trying to appoint justices to overrule the decision on same-sex marriage
8. “It’s irrelevant because it was already settled. It’s law. It was settled in the Supreme Court. I mean it’s done…And I’m fine with that
9. “If I win, I am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation. There has never been so many lies, so much exception. There has never been anything like it. We will have a special prosecutor. I go out and speak and the people of this country are furious. The long time workers at the FBI are furious. There has never been anything like this with emails. You get a subpoena and after getting the subpoena you delete 33,000 emails and acid wash them or bleach them. An expensive process. We will get a special prosecutor and look into it. You know what, people have been—their lives have been destroyed for doing one-fifth of what you have done. You should be ashamed.”
10.“I don’t want to hurt the Clintons, I really don’t…It’s just not something that I feel very strongly about.”
11.“We have at least 11 million people in this country that came in illegally. They will go out.”
12.“What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers, we have a lot of these people, probably two million, it could be even three million, we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate.”
13.“Well the generals under Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have not been very successful.”
14.“We have some great generals. We have great generals.”
15.”Well, I’ll be honest with you, I probably do [know more about ISIS than the generals do] because look at the job they’ve done. Okay? Look at the job they’ve done. They haven’t done the job.”
16.“Well I think maybe it’s not so bad to have Japan — if Japan had that nuclear threat, I’m not sure that would be a bad thing for us.”
17.“The @nytimes states today that DJT believes “more countries should acquire nuclear weapons.” How dishonest are they. I never said this!”
18.“The electoral college is a disaster for democracy.” “The Electoral College is actually genius in that it brings all states, including the smaller ones, into play. Campaigning is much different
19. “I’d rather do the popular vote.” Says he was “never a fan of the electoral college.
20.“Trump University has a 98% approval rating. I could have settled but won’t out of principle. “I don’t settle cases…I won’t settle because it’s an easy case to win in court.”
21.“I settled the Trump University lawsuit for a small fraction of the potential award because as President I have to focus on our country”
22. “I am not a great believer in man-made climate change.” “I think there is some connectivity. Some, something.”
