Do you think Trump will do any flip flopping today?

Trump resonantly said that he thinks abortion laws should be left to the States. It outraged the anti abortion supporters and Trump knows that anti abortion supporters are a large portion of his supporters – so I think he is going to flip flop on his statement. Maybe he will go back to his old claim that if a woman wants an abortion a doctor can ripe it out of her body up to 32 weeks into the pregnancy. Cheers!

I'm certain that he'll eventually contradict himself eventually, maybe even in "defending" his false statements but attacking his critics, but today I wouldn't bet on with so much else going on in Court.

Plus, a relatively unprincipled, pragmatic approach to abortion, exceptions and IVF probably is the right play politically for him.

I doubt many Trumpists will be bothered by his "flip flopping" even if it contradicts their religious beliefs (e.g. not covering, bearing false witness, treating your neighbor, and turning the other cheek), and he needs policy stuff he can point to besides revenge, bloodshed and fear.

Much like appeasing Putin, I think Trump will see this as a pretty good line for suckers, and I doubt he'll flip flop quickly on it.
