no, Trump's beliefs were different then than now on issues....
His former beliefs and positions as a Democrat included:
- Economic Performance: Trump stated in a 2004 interview that "the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans" and praised the economic management of Democratic administrations.
- Healthcare: In the past, Trump expressed support for a universal healthcare system, a position traditionally held by the Democratic Party.
- Social Issues: While in heavily Democratic jurisdictions like New York, Trump often voiced opinions on social issues like abortion and gun control that were broadly in line with Democratic thinking.
- Political Alliances: During his time as a Democrat, he was a prolific donor to Democratic candidates and causes, appearing at fundraisers and maintaining ties with prominent figures like Hillary Clinton, whom he once praised as a strong negotiator.
- Foreign Policy and Trade: Even during his Democratic years, Trump occasionally hinted at the protectionist and isolationist leanings that would later define his presidency, though these were less central than his focus on domestic economic success - AI
Grok?
Why you figure he changed positions?
