Trump says he is open to restrictions on contraception. His campaign says he misspoke
From WABE Politics News:
Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he was open to supporting regulations on contraception and that his campaign would release a policy on the issue “very shortly.” The comments, […]

Trump is such an obvious con-man that it frustrates me to no end that he continues to get away with it and people cover for him. Look at what he said:
When pressed he said:
He literally doesn't know what the fuck he is talking about! He's just basically smiling and nodding - and this dumbass was president and is trying to be president again.
Just saw this on the news passing by and had the same thoughts. How does anybody not see that he literally has nothing? He has no idea what to say unless his handlers are in his ears. This man couldn't even be in charge of the local dump.
What's crazy is that the news treat this as if he's staying a serious policy instead of calling it what it is. They phrase it as "Trump says he's open to restrictions on contraception". They should be saying "Trump clearly flounders and doesn't know what contraception means."
This man does not have a single serious policy, other than his own personal goals.
Its not crazy, its money.
If they point out how obviously senile and empty headed he is, they lose 40+% of their audience because they value feels over reals and can't admit that their soiled diaper daddy needs to be given the (political) old yeller treatment.
C'mon, man. "Contraception" is a whole 4-syllable word. Who are you to gatekeep the office of presidency behind understanding such complex words. Donald J Trump is an honest man who tells it like it is, and it's not like he's ever bragged about being good at words. /s
Remember that scene in Chicago, where Roxy Hart was sitting on Billy Flynn's lap and they sang?
Basically like that.
Yeah his strategy was and still very much is to just say things, see how people react, and if there's enough applause it becomes policy and if there is enough backlash then it's walked back and he said he misspoke and then never talks about the issue again.
Never underestimate the power of a great deal of very stupid people. The sad thing is that a lot of people don't like it that others are smarter/more experienced and more competent than them. As a general rule, they tend to be Republicans. That's why you see Republican politicians with an Ivy League education pretending to be morons that are "salt of the Earth". They know full well their base is filled with morons seething over the notion that other people are smarter than they are, have more education, etc...
So the fact that Ronald McDonald is most likely an actual total moron who knows next to nothing is considered "authentic" to the base.
We still waiting for his tremendous healthcare plan that’s coming in two weeks
I'm not a MAGA person by any means but he sounds pretty coherent to me. They're going to leave it to the states.
Some states will have civil rights, while others will have unnecessary cruelty. Just like Jesus would have wanted.
Doesn't seem to me like the fascists will be content at leaving it like that.
Indeed. They are very butthurt right now about the uppity wimmenz in their Gilead states thinking they have the right to go to a free state to have an abortion.
The reality is that the plan is to appoint somebody to head the DOJ who will both enforce the Comstock act, and classify birth control as "abortion causing materials."
The Comstock act makes it illegal to "mail" abortion causing materials, which could be interrupted to include medical supplies used in abortions, birth control, the Plan B pill, possibly even other medications that have the mere potential to cause miscarriage. This would make it nearly impossible to perform abortions or access birth control in states where they are still legal, all while still technically adhering to the holy "state's rights" scripture.
