Abortion
Then: On "Meet The Press" in 1999, Trump said he was "very pro-choice." "I hate the concept of abortion," he said. "I hate it. I hate everything it stands for. ... but I just believe in choice."Now: In an interview with Bloomberg Politics in January, Trump said, "I'm pro-life and I have been pro-life." He said he believed there should be exceptions in cases of rape, incest or the life of the mother.
Guns
Then: In Trump's 200 book "The America We Deserve," he wrote that he "generally" opposed gun control but supported an assault weapons ban and a longer waiting period to purchase a firearm.Now: At the 2015 NRA-ILA Leadership Forum, Trump said if he became president, "the 2nd Amendment will be totally protected." He told the Web site Ammoland he does "not support expanding background checks" and said current background checks "don't work."
Healthcare
Then:Â In an interview with Larry King in 1999, Trump said he was "very liberal when it comes to health care" and that he believes in "universal healthcare." Now:Â During his announcement, he called Obamacare "a disaster called the big lie" and said the deductibles were so high they were "virtually useless."
Hillary Clinton
Then: Either Trump or his son donated to Clinton in 2002, 2005, 2006 and 2007, he invited her to his 2005 wedding in Florida, where she sat front row, and he's donated at least $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation. He also said in an appearance on the Howard Stern show in the mid-2000s that she was a fantastic senator.Now: On NBC on Wednesday, he called Clinton "the worst secretary of state in the history of our nation" and said she would be "a terrible president."
Party affiliation
Then: Trump changed his party from Republican to Independent Party in 1999, and switched again to Democrat in 2001.Now: Has been a registered Republican since 2009.
There are also some flips which haven't necessarily been from left to right.
Jeb Bush
Then:Â In Trump's 2000 book "The America We Deserve," he called Bush "a good man," "bright, tough and principled," and "exactly the kind of political leader this country needs now and will very much need in the future."Now:Â On Fox News's "On The Record" this week, he called Bush "pathetic" for his support of Common Core, said his immigration views were "baby stuff."

To: lormand
He was on NBC and said he’d get rid of 0bama’s executive orders, but when he was asked if that meant he would not govern by executive fiat, he said, “I’ll do good ones.”
He has proposed an immigration plan that is substantially identical to touchback amnesty.
He repeates the Code Pink, Far Left lie “Bush lied” and blames Bush for 9/11.
He compared Ben Carson to a psychopath.
The Trump Tower was built by illegal aliens using concrete supplied by a mob-owned company.
He said his liberal, pro-abort sister would be a GREAT Supreme Court justice.
He threatened to sue another candidate for criticizing him.
He called Pat Buchanan a “Hitler lover.”
He said that socialized medicine “works incredibly well in Canada and Scotland” and that he’ll cover everyone and “the government will pay for it.”
He has New York values.
