The thing about Trump is . He is consistent . Unlike all the politicians and Presidents we have seen so far in the USA.
A successful politician is someone who is consistent.
I am neither saying he is good nor bad. But he is successful.
This was an interview with David Letterman in 1987.
You can fast forward to 10.00 if you want.

Trump used to be pro gay rights and pro trans rights. I miss liberal Trump. But I do not necessarily agree with him on the Japan issue in particular.
Although I would prefer Japan be able to re-instate its own defense. Our deals with the Saudis and Japan in particularly are in the best interest of the US empire. Even if they're exploitative. You know how strategically important Japan is when your opposition is both China and Russia?
As for the Saudis they're oil rich motherfuckers. They're no good just like the Israelis, though. I wouldn't put them in the same group as Japan.
Some of his foreign policy opinions are at least consistent and I appreciate that he actually admits the war on Iraq for example was a complete sham. Part of the reason I don't completely hate Trump is because I do think he is less of a warmonger than warhawk Dems.
