		Consultant32452 on April 23, 2021 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The culture war is killing us [video] Trump was a New York democrat most of his life. His platform had a lot in common with Bernie Sanders. To name some areas of overlap: strict border control, ending the wars, and renegotiating trade deals. Trump increased restrictions on guns. Trump was even open to socialized healthcare but the republicans wouldn’t have supported that.

"Trump was even open to socialized healthcare but the republicans wouldn’t have supported that."

It makes it sound like he would just tone down on socialized healthcare whereas in fact, he just waged a war on Obamacare.

Anyways I never expected him to be consistent.
