She says "Voters aren't stupid." She's wrong about half of the country.

[chrisaaron]

But these states never could have enacted a 6 week ban if Trump hadn’t put anti-abortion judges on the Supreme Court. He’s the reason the ban exists.

How are we living in 2024 and still debating abortion. America is in decline

[maryannisabelle]

I agree, I didn't know I was pregnant until I missed two periods.

[dalenkindred]

Then he turned around after conservatives complained.

[Ford_prefect_]

Excuse me. He said it's too short but he's voting for a 6 week ban. He also said that women need abortions should be punished.
Can we stop the false narrative? People should see his unhinged, authoritarian rants

Like Mexico will pay for the border wall 😂?

[Steve-bwoh]

If we can pay for abortion we can pay to help people have babies. And 6 weeks is too short. The doctor will tell you to two months.

My God, the wheels are really falling off the Trump campaign. They can't even find a consistent position on their favorite issue, abortion.

[JC-tqgm]

He said that's his personal belief, he lives in Florida and that's the law there. Why doesn't the news tell the whole story?

[chrisaaron]

This headline is misleading in that a day later Trump flipped his position again, saying he wouldn’t vote to overturn the 6 week ban.

[DonSchmidt-hjgd]

He’s lying. His lips are moving. He’s most definitely lying. It’s what he does best.

[burgerbody]

Trump is kinda boring. No longer an evangelical. Very sad.

[SmurfPerfect]

Trump loves weeks. Nobody has more weeks than Trump. When Trump’s President, we’ll have the best weeks, Weekly.

[popsfrompa]

1:01 he'll say anything you want to hear to get your vote. Desperate.

[Johngofettt]

He said he would leave it up to the state. Fake news again.

[duratoke]

Trump: "I will pay for anyone who wants IVF. Oh - and also. There will be a chicken in every pot!"

[teehasheestower]

Former President Trump may not know how to ride a bike, but he sure can backpedal.

[GayleAllen-RINO]

I want to vote again in 2028, I don't want a dictator on day one, I WANT FREEDOM💙

[duanedelperdang]

Why would anybody believe anything Trump says?
