    Default the orange man flip flop

    No, it's not a dance....just describing the duplicitous nature of Trump. It seems he just trundles along while his flunkies make excuses for him. I can only imagine the wails of "impeachment" from the right wing if Obama had a first year like this:

    It is when you make a big ass point of it and criticize others for the opinion you adopted.

    But a supposed regular flip flop makes a great leader? Right?

    When one NEVER admits that there is a significant change that contradicts ALL that was previously said....and then criticize others when they do.

    Wrong. No one but YOU is suggesting such nonsense....seems you're doing exactly what the OP stated.....making excuses for the Orange Man.

    Sure it did, you just don't like it....just as you don't like the documented facts as to Trump's (at best) duplicitous relationship to truth, facts and general policy integrity.

    So flip flopping means one is duplicitous?

    It certainly can. Not true in every case. But presidents running on a platform are expected to follow it. When they don't, they need to explain why. Trump just does whatever he feels like.

    Why not on every case? Seems like a double standard.

    So this is the best you've got? Repeating the SOS? Let me stop you here: Have you EVER heard Trump say, "gee, Obama was right and I was wrong!" Nope. So his flip flop is duplicitous, as he can't seem to stop making declarative statements and then do a about face while NEVER ADMITTING HE WAS WRONG, while criticizing others for doing what he originally criticized and NEVER ADMITTING ERROR.

    Now you're not stupid, so if you make some false accusation/claim or give another version of your previous drivel I'll just ignore you. Like your Orange pated idol, seems you just don't have the intellectual courage to concede a point.
