Former President Donald Trump is trying to clarify what appears to be his shifting stance on abortion rights. On Thursday, he said Florida's six-week abortion ban is too short and signaled he would vote to overturn it but on Friday, he reversed course.

  • The lengths the media is going to not use the word "flip flop" to describe this situation is truly astonishing.
  • @Apoplexy1000
    I’m certain that he never willingly paid for an abortion. Must have required the literal threat of legal repercussions each time.
  • @johntuel2375
    I'm surprised he isn't letting his cult followers explain what he actually meant like they have been doing since 2015.
  • So Kamala flipped on every position, but it’s a huge deal if Trump isn’t clear on one?
  • @KeepItReal33
    Trump has literally said the exact same thing for more than 6 months! 🙄
  • @JGPure
    I don’t think this issue is true
  • @justachipnc33
    HE GAVE IT BACK TO THE PEOPLE TO DECIDE !!! THE PEOPLE OF EACH STATE DO WHATEVER THEY VOTE FOR !!! WHY IS THAT NOT SINKING IN WITH YOU PEOPLE ???
  • @AnyM4jorDude
    How about asking about Kamala shifting stances and what has she done the past four years?
  • @ne1981
    We care about the economy not women stressing about having abortions with so many birth control options 🙄
  • @eternaltruth52
    Trump always talks from both sides of his mouth. nothing new
  • @brandilyn6720
    He seems to be saying the same thing to me. I hear no back tracking. He’s never said anything different.
  • @Stemo-zf4zw
    Please don't show kamala flip flopping around her stance,2020 vs 2024
  • @user-mo1cc3me6n
    But the media is trying to accuse Kamala Harris flip-flopping. You see how this works soon as they start accusing her or flip-flopping. They start flip-flopping right in front of everybody face on camera live so everybody could witness it now you have no choice but to deal with this head now you have no choice, but to call Donald Trump a flip-flop they still try to spin it. They still try to spin it.🤷🏽

    I agree with the woman who said government should have their noses poked into the IDF issue, but I also don't think tax payers should be paying for it.
