Trump accidentally tells the truth about one of his anti-abortion positions
One of the many parts of Project 2025 Trump will implement if elected is to withdraw the FDA’s approval of mifepristone:
A reporter noted that there are ways the federal government could restrict abortion besides a national ban and asked if Trump would direct his Food and Drug Administration to “revoke access” to mifepristone. Trump did not reject the idea.
“Sure, you could, you could do things that will be, would, would supplement,” the GOP presidential nominee said. “Absolutely. … But you have to be able to have a vote, and all I want to do is give everybody a vote.” (Trump has defended his appointments of Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe v. Wade by saying that the decision allowed states and voters to weigh in on the issue.)
Trump obviously has no idea what mifepristone even is, but what matters is that the people in charge of the FDA in his administration know exactly what to do.
Meanwhile, his vote in the Florida abortion initiative is in the same file as his plan to replace the ACA, which will both be revealed at the same time. He’s still shrewd enough to know that the positions of the anti-abortion lobby are a political loser in national elections. but he will be their handpuppet in a second term just like he would be in the first, and he can’t always keep this hidden.
