Trump Calls 6-Week Hearbeat Bills ‘A Terrible Mistake’+ Wants GREATER Access to Abortion
While Trump has never shown himself to possess a profoundly principled approach to abortion, a new interview with Meet the Press’s Kristen Welker has the former president claiming that he’s going to come up with a solution to abortion that both pro-lifers and pro-choices are going to like, all the while criticizing six-week heartbeat bills and those who support them.
Trump has previously criticized political opponent Ron Desantis for wanting to institute a ban on abortion after a heartbeat bill can be detected, and has repeatedly refused to say whether he’d support a federal law restricting abortion across the country. While rightly noting that democrats support abortion, “after five months, six months, seven months, eight months, nine months, and even after birth you’re allowed to terminate the baby,” Trump also chastised Republicans for advancing abortion without rape or incest exceptions:
“I think the Republicans speak very inarticulately about this subject. I watch some of them without the exceptions, et cetera, et cetera….I have exceptions, by the way. I think people should have exceptions. I think if it’s rape or incest or the life of the mother, I think you have to have exceptions. It’s very important.”
Not content to advocate for the murder of preborn babies who were conceived by victims of sexual assault, he continued:
I think they’re all gonna like me. I think both sides are gonna like me… What’s going to happen is you’re going to come up with a number of weeks or months, you’re going to come up with a number that’s going to make people happy. Because 92% of the Democrats don’t want to see abortion after a certain period of time.”
Unfortunately, Trump is delusional or deeply dishonest if he genuinely believes that pro-death Democrats will “like” or support anything other than abortion up till birth and the celebration of that abortion therein. When asked whether or not he’d sign a federal ban at 15 weeks, he revealed:
People are starting to think of 15 weeks; that seems to be a number that people are talking about right now… I would sit down with both sides, and I’d negotiate something, and we’ll end up with peace in that issue for the first time in 52 years. I’m not going to say I would or I wouldn’t. I mean (Ron Desantis) is willing to sign a five-week and six-week ban….
When Welker presses him on whether or not he’d support a six-weerk ban or if that goes too far, Trump rejoined:
I think what he did is a terrible thing and a terrible mistake.

Shoots self in foot big time…
Trump is a mid-90’s Democrat that got left behind and is only “conservative” because of how far left the Overton window has shifted. This revelation is nothing new and given his track record with women, it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s had several of his own children aborted.
Compromise between two groups that hold irreconcilable positions is not possible.
That Trump does not recognize this immutable fact is stunning and demonstrates his motives and lack of suitability for the Presidency
