Donald Trump does not hold any sincere political views on much of anything.
His sole aim is to enrich himself, and he found the best way to do that is to pretend he's a hardcore rightwinger. Because those are the only people dumb enough to believe he's the real thing.
There is no point in "debating" a chameleon. He will literally say or do anything. Beyond racism and cruelty, he has no principles, vision, goal, nothing.
#5 Just for clarity, who's "they?"
