So because Trump has not been elected to office, we are supposed to ignore everything he ever said and did before he decided to run, and just base our support on what he has said AFTER he decided to run for president? That's very convenient...
Well, let me put it this way: For the first time in my lifetime, a candidate has come along who is beholden to nobody and does not rely on donors who have an agenda contrary to the will of the American people.
Do we pay attention to his past statements? Sure. Do they carry as much weight as the promises and deeds of politicians? No. Should we fly off the handle over a statement like this one where there could be any one of several different meanings to what he said? No, that would just be stupid.
But have at it if it makes you feel better. Trump’s full tax plan will come out soon and then you guys can move on to the next subject until he blows whatever else you’re whining about out of the water.
