Things always seem to get a little murky when one digs into a Presidential candidate’s past. There have been a handful of exceptions over the years, but hiding one’s opinions has become increasingly difficult with the permanence of social media and the speed through which the media and other interested parties can dig up the dirt.
Donald Trump seems to be the strange exception. It’s as if he’s been so public about his offenses that the public nature allows him to say or do whatever he wants and claim that things are different now. It’s much like a murderer who talks about murdering someone, then using that as part of their alibi since someone would have to be stupid to discuss killing someone publicly and then doing it.
Trump has said that he’s pro-choice in the past, but now he’s pro-life. He’s said that he’s mostly a Democrat before becoming an all-out Republican recently. He’s bought favors from politicians and somehow claimed that it’s okay. He’s had four companies file bankruptcy but he’s the right guy for the economy. He’s spoken negatively about immigrants, particularly Hispanics, and claims that they love him
The enigma of Trump can be encapsulated by one issue in particular. He seems to have misogynistic traits. He has demonstrated a willingness to objectify women and yet so many of them seem to love him. He’s been open about his infidelity, yet somehow this doesn’t bother his female supporters. He’s even been accused of rape by a reputable witness, his ex-wife, before she recanted her story. It should be noted that recanting her story likely helped her to make a lot more money than if she had allowed the story to stick.
We could go into details about this man who, in our opinion, is clearly against immigrants, women, and even possibly America, but we’ll let another source tell the tale:

If there’s one thing that should be of clear note about Donald Trump, it’s that whatever he says today won’t necessarily be what he’s going to say tomorrow. That should scare anyone considering voting for him.
