In Sunday’s interview with Kristen Welker, Trump went with his classic playbook of vague answers and conspiracy theories.

Trump’s policies are basically:

  1. Become President to stay out of prison.
  2. Use the power of the presidency to take revenge against anyone he doesn’t like - including arresting political rivals for the “crime” of opposing him politically.
  3. Use the presidency to enrich himself - again.

And that’s about it. Any other issue, he’s flexible on depending on what will give him the most power/money. Trump would become a full blown socialist if he thought that was the key to getting more money and power. (Of course, it’s not so he won’t.)

I didn’t watch, but this was taped, meaning they could add context retrospectively.

Trump repeatedly lied that Democrats advocate for post-birth abortion and abortions up to “five, six, seven, eight, nine months."

Did the host say “that is a lie?” Or did they at least put up text that said “This is false, post-birth abortion already has a clearer definition of ‘murder’ which is not a Democratic party platform.”

Look, in two weeks he’s going to have the greatest policy plans you’ve ever seen. Many people tell him they’re the greatest policy plans that have ever been thought of. They say “Sir you have a great mind for policy.”
