Trump’s hypocrisy indicates he’s with ruling class, co-opting WN into Republican propositionalism

Posted by DanielS on Friday, 21 October 2016 16:02.

        Trump Endorsed Hillary, said that he liked both her and Bill very much.

       

Time, “In 2012, as Obama was running for re-election, Trump called Clinton “terrific” again in an interview with Fox News, saying she performed well as Secretary of State.”

Trump commending Hillary’s run for office, “likes her and her husband”

Trump: Hillary Clinton I think is a terrific woman, he told Greta Van Susteren. I am biased because I have known her for years. I live in New York. She lives in New York. I really like her and her husband both a lot. I think she really works hard. I think, again, she’s given an agenda, it is not all of her, but I think she really works hard and I think she does a good job. I like her.

Van Susteren: You said she’s out at the end of this term, do you think we’re going to see her again running for office?

Trump: I think so, assuming she’s healthy, which I hope she will be, I think she probably runs after the next four years, I would imagine.

Van Susteren: Do you support her?

Trump: I don’t want to get into this because I don’t want to get myself into trouble…

Van Susteren (interrupting): That’s why I asked you, to see if you’d get into trouble.

Trump: I just like her. I like her and I like her husband. Her husband made a speech on Monday at Mar-a-Lago (Palm Beach mansion owned by Trump) and it was very well received. He’s a really good guy and she’s a really good person and woman.

Trump’s hypocrisy indicates that the 2016 election is more characteristic of two sides of the same coin - a position that racialists used to be more wryly accustomed-to prior to the largely successful effort by the Republican party to co-opt White Nationalism. Recall Gov. George Wallace’s statement oft cited by WN, that “there’s not a dime’s worth of difference between the Democrat and Republican Party.”

In additional hypocrisy - 1998: Trump calls Paula Jones “a loser”, says that “she may be responsible for bringing-down a standing President (Clinton) indirectly.”


The Slatest
, “Watch Donald Trump Call Paula Jones “a Loser” in 1998 Interview”, 9 Oct 2016:

Shortly before the second presidential debate started, Donald Trump held a jaw-dropping “news conference” with three women who have accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault (and a third whose accused rapist was represented by Hillary Clinton). One of those women was Paula Jones, a former Arkansas state employee who sued Bill Clinton for sexual harassment.

Trump is now trying to portray himself as the champion for the women, yet he didn’t feel the same way in 1998. “Paula Jones is a loser, but the fact is that she may be responsible for bringing down a president indirectly,” Trump said in an interview with Chris Matthews on August 28, 1998. The interview took place mere days after Bill Clinton acknowledged he had an inappropriate relationship with Monica Lewinsky.


..and the “loser” is…

Jones had filed a lawsuit against Clinton, saying he had made inappropriate sexual advances toward her while he was governor of Arkansas. That suit was settled for $850,000 with no admission of guilt.

A bonus on what Trump used to think about Bill Clinton’s accusers is that he once pretty much said the only reason why the then-president got in trouble was because Lewinsky was ugly. “It’s sad because he would go down as a great President if he had not had this scandal,” Trump said in a 1999 interview with Maureen Dowd. “People would have been more forgiving if he’d had an affair with a really beautiful woman of sophistication. Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe were on a different level.

        ...Al Goldstein would have taken a lot less than a $850,000 pay-off.

        More, Trump has about-faced on “pro-choice versus pro-life” as well...

Refinery29, “Where Does Donald Trump Stand On Access To Abortion?”, 23 August 2016:

With issues of terrorism, economic policy, and even gun rights dominating the 2016 presidential election, one of the most notable issues for women voters seems almost absent.

For many young women, access to reproductive health care can be the political issue with the biggest effect on their day-to-day life. And although the Supreme Court just decided the biggest abortion case in two decades this summer, nothing is ever certain.

So with the election upon us, what have the presidential candidates said about where they stand on reproductive rights? Here’s what you need to know about Republican Donald Trump and his stance. And if you want to see how he measures up to Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton, you can check out her stance, here.

He’s gone back and forth over the years.

As a businessman in the late ‘90s and early aughts, before his political aspirations took hold, Trump publicly supported a woman’s right to choose.

“I’m very pro-choice,” he said on Meet The Press in 1999, continuing that he personally disliked abortion. “I am strongly for choice, and yet I hate the concept of abortion.” He said he would not ban abortion, were he to become president (then only a distant hypothetical, as he was not running for the office).

A decade later, he had switched his stance. He said in a 2011 interview that he had changed his leaning thanks to personal stories from friends, including an instance in which an unwanted pregnancy turned out to be welcomed after the child’s birth.

In 2015, he said in the first Republican primary debate that he had evolved on the issue over the years, citing Ronald Reagan as an example of someone who had done the same. “Since [1999], I’ve very much evolved,” he said, “and I am very, very proud to say that I am pro-life.”

He’s said a lot of contradictory things on the subject, including whether he’d defund Planned Parenthood.

Though Trump is pro-life, he said in a January 2015 interview with Bloomberg News that he supported “caveats” to forbidding abortion, including the health of the woman, rape, and incest, which makes him more moderate on the issue than many of his Republican counterparts, including former rivals for the presidential nomination. Indeed, Trump has said that he would want to adjust the Republican Party platform to reflect those three exceptions.

In March, he notoriously said that women who undergo abortions should be punished if the procedure is banned in the United States, before quickly backtracking. “The woman is a victim in this case, as is the life in her womb,” he said according to The New York Times. He clarified that he thought the doctor should be punished in the event of an illegal abortion.

Most critically, he’s called for defunding Planned Parenthood, even though he believes the women’s health organization does “important work.”

“They do some very good work,” Trump said in a February interview with Meet The Press. “Cervical cancer, lots of women’s issue, women’s health issues are taken care of.” But he’s said he would defund Planned Parenthood “as long as they’re doing abortions,” despite the fact that federal funds are prohibited from going to abortion services under the Hyde Amendment.

He’s said that he would nominate Supreme Court justices that are against abortion.

The winner of the 2016 election will likely have at least one Supreme Court seat, possibly more, to fill during their term. Trump, for his part, has promised to load the court with justices who would never rule in favor of abortion.

“You won’t even have to question. You wouldn’t even have to bother going to court. You’re going to know the answers,” he said in a radio interview, Politico reported. Trump’s vice president pick, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, also has a history of pushing against abortion rights and has said that a Trump presidency would overturn the Supreme Court decision that granted American women the right to an abortion.

“We’ll see Roe vs. Wade consigned to the ash heap of history where it belongs,” Pence said in Michigan in late July.

He hasn’t said much of anything on contraception — directly, at least..
