Cleanup on Aisle MAGA. -- Trump Bends to Conservative Abortion Critics

In the end, Donald Trump, a master of evasion, could only obfuscate for so long.

After hemming, hawing, avoiding, and rambling, he finally admitted Friday night that ♦️he opposes his home state’s abortion-rights ballot initiative.

Insiders had expected him to end up there.

⭐️But Trump had shown a remarkable ability to just say nothing at all.

For months, he was coy about the Florida initiative, which would overrule the state’s current #six-#week #ban by creating a right to abortion in the state constitution.

He said he’d let his position be known at some point and then offered vague responses that didn’t address the fundamental, binary choice of which way he’d vote.

🔥But pressure and anger mounted from social conservatives after he made muddled remarks to NBC that led to a conservative backlash.

And a day later, Friday, he finally made his position clear in a safe-space interview with Fox News.

He started by saying that while he would prefer to extend Florida’s cutoff so that abortions are permitted beyond six weeks
—“you need more time than six weeks”
—he has ultimately decided to vote against #Amendment4 because it would allow for later-term abortions, all the way through birth:
“The nine months is just a ridiculous situation, where you can do an abortion in the ninth month.”
“I’ll be voting no for that reason,” Trump said.

He then #falsely claimed that in “some of the states, like Minnesota, and other states, have it where you could actually execute the baby after birth.”

It was a major relief for evangelicals.
#Mission #accomplished,” said an evangelical Trump confidant, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Op 19 juni heb ik mijn spijkerjack (lichtblauw) in de trein van 18:09 van Leiden naar Hoofddorp laten liggen. In de jaszak zat mijn sleutelbos. Met oa autosleutel (Suzuki) en sleutelhangers: een laars (zwart met versieringen, van de musical Six) een ridderhelmpje en een minizakje ‘bloed’ met de tekst O+. Help me mijn sleutels te vinden! Delen is lief #sleutelbos #verloren #sleutels #suzuki #six #helm
