1. Trump is not for single-payer healthcare. In Trump's own words >> "I don't think a single-payer system works anymore. Maybe a single-payer works in other countries. It works incredibly well in Scotland, for example, and maybe it could have worked here at a different time. But not anymore." (Donald Trump, Crippled America, pg. 72)
"I'd like to see a private insurance system without artificial lines drawn between states. We need to get rid of those lines and let people and companies cross state lines to purchase the best plan for them. The government should get out of the way and let insurance companies compete for your business." (Donald Trump, Crippled America, pg. 75)
2. In Trump's own words >> "As far as Planned Parenthood is concerned, I'm pro-life. I'm totally against abortion" "And I wouldn't fund it. I would defund it because of the abortion factor, which they say is 3 percent. I don't know what percentage it is. They say it's 3%. But I would defund it, because I'm pro-life." (Source: 2016 CNN-Telemundo Republican debate on eve of Texas primary , Feb 25, 2016)
3. I support a trade war 100%. The US has NEEDED a trade war for a long time. Instead of it,we've allowed other countries to run roughshod over us. A trade war is healthy for the US. We're holding all the cards (our huge MARKET). China & Mexico need us much more than we need them. In a trade war, we'd eat their lunch. Trade war is one of Trump's best positions. (Pat Buchanan)
4. Where does Trump support leftist candidates ? I haven't heard that.
