I am getting sick and tired of Trump's utterances being reported as if [View all]

He is sane and trustworthy.

What set me off in particular was the reporting that he is supporting Florida's marijuana legalization, if it is done "correctly," according to him.

The only thing in the world that particular statement means is that he hopes it will get him votes.

Same for his flip-flopping on abortion. The only thing it means is he is trying to get votes.

What he will actually do, if, God forbid, he gets elected or selected, is whatever his foreign and domestic handlers want.
