    I can’t tell if Trump is endorsing Project 2025, or if his default answer to every policy question is that he has a secret plan he’s releasing soon.

      He’s learned that pussyfooting around actual answers gets the same amount of applause and much less criticism compared to actually taking a stance. He’s a coward who just says whatever makes people adore him most. He doesn’t believe in anything beyond what currently suits him.

      Also, it’s pretty fucking gross that the guy currently on criminal trial for a hush money payment cover-up over an affair who also was found liable for sexual assault in a recent civil case is being asked whether he would restrict contraceptives if elected president… and he’s not just saying no. This is after installing justices who overturned Roe. There’s no takeaway I can see other than that he wants women to be vulnerable to impregnation without access to prevention or abortion. He’s endorsing breed-rape. Trump voters are woman-haters, and most of them are either too stupid or too cowardly to stand up and say that. A vote for trump is a vote to make every woman you know more vulnerable to a stranger ruining her life with his pathetic little pecker.

      Dude wouldn’t know what to do with a condom.

      My theory is it’s not dementia, it’s neurosyphilis. Party like it’s 1825!

      It’s quite obvious he just says the same basic thing about every policy. It’s why he always says “it’s coming soon” and then… crickets.

      The problem is, his base eats it up every time. In their minds, he has a secret catalog of every policy they like, while he wasn’t serious about the policies they don’t like.

      Schroedingers policy, if you will.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    But Trump’s comments are still alarming, given the nationwide assault on women’s health care in the wake of the Supreme Court killing Roe v. Wade in 2022.

    The conservative movement has long teased the idea of restricting access to birth control, but they’ve moved beyond wishcasting with a potential second Trump term on the horizon.

    Rolling Stone reported last year on how Republicans’ “Project 2025” plan — a wide-ranging suite of right-wing policy for Trump to enact if he retakes the White House — would wreak havoc on women’s health care.

    Trump has tried — and largely failed — to paint himself as a moderate on abortion, claiming publicly that he wants the issue to be left to the states while also entertaining the idea of a national ban.

    “Women across the country are already suffering from Donald Trump’s post-Roe nightmare, and if he wins a second term, it’s clear he wants to go even further by restricting access to birth control and emergency contraceptives,” spokesperson Sarafina Chitika said in a statement provided to Rolling Stone.

    “It’s not enough for Trump that women’s lives are being put at risk, doctors are being threatened with jail time, and extreme bans are being enacted with no exceptions for rape or incest.
