Politico: “It was the latest major policy shift from a candidate who has proven equal parts hardline and chameleon-like over time. Trump’s pivot on immigration followed his reversal on TikTok, embracing an app he once tried to ban, and his shift on cryptocurrency.”
“To the former president’s allies, the reversals are evidence of a nuanced politician taking thoughtful new positions on rapidly changing issues.”
“But there is also plainly a pattern of Trump aligning his political stances with the views of wealthy donors and business interests.”
Said veteran Republican strategist Scott Jennings: “Now some people might say that’s craven or he doesn’t have any core values or whatever. But he’s got to win the election.”
