Quote:I was not a Trump backer in last weekâs election, but you donât have to support him to see the pattern. Since he began testing the political waters in the 1980s he has repeatedly and visibly distanced himself from the rut much of the GOP was mired in on this set of issues.
In his acceptance speech in August, when GOP conventioneers heartily applauded his pledge to âdo everything in my power to protect our LGBTQ citizens from the violence and oppressionâ of jihadist ideology, he departed from his script: âI have to say, as a Republican, it is so nice to hear you cheering for what I just said. Thank you.â
By now itâs part of his brand, and no one cares more about protecting his brand than Donald Trump. I suspect to do that heâll prove quite prepared to rein in the unwise impulses of some of his appointees.
