May 5: Donald Trump
likes to say that he “tells it like it is,” and his blunt style has won him the
Republican nomination, buoyed by voters who like feeling they know just where a
candidate stands on the issues. So where does he stand? Over the past
four decadesTrump has talked about every imaginable subject: gun rights
to germs, the nature of competition to pre-nuptial agreements, love and sex,
self-promotion and politics. And on every one of those topics, he has
taken positions that directly contradict exactly what
he has previously said.

September 27: The Republican candidate for White House appeared to use an
unusual adverb in his debate against Hillary Clinton. Or did he?

February 25: President Trump's
campaign-trail criticism of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, while "problematic," hasn't
prevented the soldier from getting a fair trial on charges that he endangered
comrades by walking off his post in Afghanistan in 2009, a military judge ruled
Friday.
April 28: President Donald Trump, reflecting on a first
100 days in office that has featured
no major legislative wins and
low approval ratings, said Thursday he thought the job would be easier.
"I loved my previous life, I loved my previous life. I had so many things
going," Trump said in an
interview with Reuters. "I actually, this is more work than my previous
life. I thought it would be easier."
June 2: In an oblique reference to pleas
from European leaders at the G-7 summit in Sicily recently that the U.S. must
stay on in the treaty [the Paris Accord], the President said: “Foreign leaders
in Europe, Asia, and across the world should not have more to say with respect
to the U.S. economy than our own citizens and their elected representatives. I
was elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris.”

July 13: Trump ...
bragged during a speech at the CIA headquarters in January about his [time
magazine] cover count: "I think we have the all-time record in the history of
Time magazine."
January 11: During Tuesday’s White House
discussion on immigration, Donald Trump stumbled in important ways. As we
discussed yesterday, the president accidentally endorsed a Senate Democrat’s
request for a clean DACA bill, extending protections to Dreamers, only to have a
House Republican quickly interject, reminding Trump of what his position is
supposed to be.
The contradiction was compounded yesterday when he initially told reporters he’d
support any bipartisan immigration agreement reached in Congress. Five seconds
later,
Trump added, “No, no, no. It’s got to include the wall.”
January 11: Donald Trump claims US sold
Norway 'F-52' aircraft that doesn't exist
US President cites fictional jet from video game Call of Duty
sparking widespread confusion
Donald Trump's
joint press conference with the Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg on
Wednesday should have been a straightforward affair, announcing new military and
trade collaboration between their two nations.
But in the latest gaffe to befall the US President, Mr Trump managed to suggest
the US was selling Norway
a type of fighter aircraft that does not actually exist.
April 18: President Trump on Wednesday
attacked California Gov. Jerry Brown over sanctuary laws, accusing him of not
protecting the border with Mexico and saying “there is a Revolution going on in
California.”
April 19: Jorge Ramos on Trump
Sanctuary City 'Breeding' Tweet: "Cannot Normalize" His "Racist Remarks"
"This is not the first time in which President Trump has made racist remarks
when he said that Mexican immigrants were criminals and rapist, that's a racist
remark, when he said that Judge Gonzalo Curiel couldn't do his job simply
because of his Mexican heritage, that's a racist remark. And when he said that
people from Haiti and Africa nations were from S-hole countries, that's a racist
remark. So, this is just -- one more, the problem that I see Anderson [Cooper] is that,
this is becoming normal," Ramos said

June 19: Twitter users reacted strongly to
President Donald Trump’s use of the word “infest” to describe illegal
immigration.
Responding to criticism of a policy that has led to more than 2,000 children
being separated from their parents at the border, Trump
tweeted that Democrats were to blame.
“They don’t care about crime and want illegal immigrants, no matter how bad they
may be, to pour into and infest our country, like MS-13,” he wrote, referencing
a violent criminal gang based in Central America.
December 11: Pelosi brings up Trump
'manhood,' says meeting with him was like 'tinkle contest' with skunk
The Democratic minority leader, who is expected to become Speaker next month,
made the comments after speaking with the president at the White House ... as
soon as she returned from the White House, Pelosi strolled into a closed-door
meeting in the Capitol basement, where fellow Democratic lawmakers were in the
process of selecting committee chairs for the new Congress, and questioned
Trump’s manhood.
“It’s like a manhood thing for him,” she said of the wall, according to an aide
who was present. “As if manhood could ever be associated with him. This wall
thing.”
January 13: Three newly empowered Democratic
House committee chairmen, alarmed by statements over the weekend by President
Trump about his former lawyer’s planned testimony before Congress, cautioned on
Sunday that any effort to discourage or influence a witness’s testimony could be
construed as a crime.
The warning, a stark and unusual message from some of Congress’s most
influential Democrats, underscores the increasing legal and political peril
facing Mr. Trump. Democrats are beginning their own investigations of him as the
special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, appears to move toward a conclusion in
his investigation into the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia and potential
obstruction of justice by Mr. Trump.

May 26: The
President of the United States is erratic, illiterate, and doesn’t want to
know what he doesn’t know. The President has alienated former allies, befriended
or courted murderous dictators, and has repeatedly brought the country to the
brink of nuclear confrontation. The President lies constantly, knows that he is
lying, and demands that Administration officials lie for him, and often they do.
The President has waged war on the institutions of government, overseeing the
gutting of the State Department and the destruction of other federal agencies by
their own leaders, and effectively shut off media access to the Pentagon, the
State Department, and the White House. The President has acted to thwart
oversight of the Administration by other branches of government. The President
has never made a secret of despising the government itself: he has called it a
“swamp” and gleefully shut it down for thirty-five days, during a temper
tantrum. The President has not only failed to divest himself of his businesses
but has installed his children in and near the White House, openly using his
office for personal financial gain. The President has debased political culture
and language, using his bully pulpit to spew lies, hate, and personal insults
