"You just tell me how to fix that. I'm--what do you call it? Pro-life. I'm pro-life, I'm telling you"

The book also describes an early 2010 meeting between Bannon, Trump and David Bossie, who served as deputy campaign manager on the Trump campaign. Trump was toying with a presidential run against then-President Barack Obama and Bossie was walking the would-be candidate through potential liabilities, including Trump’s “record of giving to the abortion guys, the pro-choice candidates,” the book said.


“I’m against abortion,” Trump said, according to Woodward’s book. “I’m pro-life.”

“Well, you’ve got a track record,” Bossie said.

“That can be fixed,” Trump said. “You just tell me how to fix that. I’m—what do you call it? Pro-life. I’m pro-life, I’m telling you.”

Later in the conversation, Woodward writes, Bannon attempted to sell Trump on populism, which was, in his estimation, animating the Tea Party.

“I love that. That’s what I am,” Trump said, “a popularist.” He mangled the word.

“No, no,” Bannon said. “It’s populist.”

“Yeah, yeah,” Trump insisted. “A popularist.”

so much for being so called patriots. As long as they get tax cuts it's all that matters. They should all be locked up.

I cannot believe this idiot is president. If I live to be 100, I will never forget this hopeless feeling.

I thought he wanted Marla to abort Tiffany. Apparently he's pro-life only when it won't inconvenience him. God knows how many other women he has forced into having abortions.

He is such a disgusting, hypocritical pig.
