Trump Almost Trumps Himself

On a day I certainly hope no one will forget, Count Trumpula managed to give the American people 3 totally different positions on abortion in one day -- at a rate of about 1 position per hour, in fact:

• If abortion is outlawed, SAITH THE TRUMPSTER, there should be some sort of punishment involved.  Only for the women.  What he didn't say was whether he meant the woman having the abortion or the woman providing it.  He rather left out male abortion providers, males who caused the pregnancies and who may be paying for the women's abortions -- or even forcing them -- or males who deprive the healthcare system of birth-control options that are bound to make the number of unplanned pregnancies skyrocket.

• SAITH THE TRUMPSTER, "I am pro-life with exceptions, which I have outlined numerous times."  (When?  While brokering real estate deals?  While dumping your latest trophy wife?)  At this point he said the states should decide individually.  Remember, Donny, if you're elected to be the leader of the free world, THE BUCK STOPS WITH YOU.  Suddenly I realize why this power-hungry ogre aligned himself with the Republican party.  Not because he's a rich guy, but because he doesn't want to be at the center of a relatively powerful central gummint of the type favored by Democrats.  It would mean too much responsibility if he were a Democrat.

• SAITH THE TRUMPSTER, "If Congress were to pass legislation making abortion illegal and the federal courts upheld this legislation, or any state were permitted to ban abortion under state and federal law, the doctor or any other person performing this illegal act upon a woman would be held legally responsible, not the woman...The woman is a victim in this case as is the life in her womb," Trump said. "My position has not changed -- like Ronald Reagan, I am pro-life with exceptions."  Umm, 'kay. 

Far be it from me to agree readily to anything Jeb Bush says, but I have to side with him on this.  Donald Trump is truly a Chaos candidate.  Once more, I challenge my readers to picture this guy sitting at a summit meeting with world leaders like Kim Jong Un, Vladimir Putin and Angela Merkel.  He'd make for better comic relief than a football mascot dressed in a chicken suit.
