It's learning.
“Real-estate mogul Donald Trump said Monday that he is in favor of Republicans moving to shut down the federal government in the Planned Parenthood funding fight.
“I can tell you this: I would,” the presidential candidate said when asked by conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt whether he supports shutting the government down in the fight.”
He's learning how to pander. Because you know Trump doesn't give a shit about Planned Parenthood or aborted fetuses. He's never been a "family values" guy.
Trump only cares about two things:
1. Being rich and famous
2. Getting richer and famouser.
That's it. So the only reason that he's talking about this is to shore up his support with the Religious Right. For some reason, they've taken a shine to the thrice-married libertine, but anything less than full-throated opposition to reproductive freedom could cost him some votes with the Bible-thumpers, and, contrary to what I was sure of a few weeks ago, Trump may actually be in this to win it.
I assumed he was running as a publicity stunt, a chance to try and garner some adulation from the rubes before returning to his game show hosting gig, but suddenly he found himself leading in the polls. And having spent a lifetime surrounded by sycophants and yes-men, he may actually have started to believe he can pull this off. But if he was going to make a serious run, he had to learn to pander. He seems to be learning.

And since he has so much money and is so in favor of shutting the government down like a fat and flabby self-obsessed child, let him pay for it, not the taxpayers.
I agree that Trump cares only about Trump. That's the story of his life. And I think he will say or do just about anything to try to drum up enough votes to get him close to the White House. So, not being able to believe any word that comes from his mouth is pretty scary. Even more fearsome are all the ignorant fools who give him the time of day. In the real world, he'd be laughed off the planet.
And Chuck Todd needs to be fired or sent over to FAUX News!
