The Big-league U-Turns Observed In Donald Trump's Utterances; Barely 2 Months To Poll


To his numerous playgoers and scores of his right-wing supporters, Donald Trump is the man who nails it, spills the beans and tells it exactly the way it is without mincing words.

Be that as it may, alot seem to have changed in Trump's mode of public utterances. Listen carefully and you find the Republican candidate for US President changes tune depending on which way the wind blows.

According to Mirror Uk, here are some of his most glaring U-turns barely two months to polling day,

ON GAY MARRIAGE

If two people dig each other, they dig each other. I’m happy for them.
(Trump Blog for Trump University on marriage of Elton John and David Furnish, December 22, 2005)

I am for traditional marriage, between a man and a woman.
(NBC Today, November 9, 2013)


MEXICANS

They’re bringing drugs, bringing crime, they’re rapists.
(Presidential bid launch at Trump Towers in New York, May 2015)

I have a great feeling for ­Mexicans... amazing people.
(Mexico City, August 31, 2016)


TAKING ADVICE
I do listen to people. I hire experts, top people. I do listen.
(South Carolina, February 13, 2016)

I’m speaking with myself, No1. I have a very good brain and I’ve said a lot of things... my primary consultant is myself.”
(MSNBC, March 16, 2016)

 TRAVEL
Travel is time-consuming and boring. I never understand people who say if they had a lot of money they would spend their time travelling. It’s just not my thing.
(Trump: Surviving At The Top, 1990)

No excuse for staying home; the world’s too fantastic to miss out on it. I wish I could travel more.
(Trump: Think Like a Billionaire, 2004)

HIS REPUTATION
I really value my reputation and I don’t hesitate to sue.
(The Village Voice, January 15, 1979)

I don’t mind being criticised. I’ll never, ever complain.
(CNN, September 24, 2015)

MARRIAGE
Nothing better than a great marriage... nothing more beautiful, nothing more important.
(CNN, March 21, 2004)

You marry for love, but your certificate is all about rights, duties and property. A contract that knows nothing of love.
(Trump: Think Big, 2007)

READING

I don’t read much. Mostly contracts, but my lawyers do most of the work. Too many pages.
(Veja magazine, February 2014)

Well, I read a lot... and over my life, I’ve read so much.
(Hugh Hewitt Show, February 25, 2015)

RONALD REAGAN

Ronald Reagan is so smooth, so effective a performer he completely won over America. Seven years later people question whether there’s anything beneath that smile.
(Trump: The Art of the Deal, 1987)

Ronald Reagan, to me, was a great president.
(CNN, October 8, 1999)


SHAKING HANDS

Some execs believe in a firm handshake. I believe in no handshake. It is terrible. So often, someone with a bad cold or flu says I’d like to shake your hand’. This is how germs spread.
(Trump: How to Get Rich, 2004)

It is very important. Shaking hands with someone means you are making a deal.
(Trump: Think Big, 2007)

...and one time when people wish he’d stuck to his guns:

THE PRESIDENCY

I have no intention of running for president
(Time, September 14, 1987)

I am running for president
(New York, June 16, 2015)
