Trump reverses position on South Korea (presumably others?)

Reminds me of this gem from reddit yesterday...

 

He is going to reverse nearly all his positions thankfully.

 

As someone who wishes for world stability...yeah this one was scary. Good move from him and I hope he sticks by it.

 

He's going to be reversing a lot once he sees what's really going on in the world. This man has zero foreign policy experience and knows about 1% of what he should know.

 

The white nationalists that voted him in will be his biggest threat. He needs protection.

 

Oh boy, shamans, fish n chips and corny hotel chains......trifecta of bad

 

Just way wait a bit ... The Donald will change his mind again.

 

He's my President now, so I am truly hopeful that I get to be amused by the alt-right scum losing their collective **** for 4 years when Trump does virtually none of the things he promised them.

 

1%? That stretches credulity, my friend. He would be, in Bernie Sanders' parlance, "The 1% of the 1%....the OLI-GAW-CHY...of foreign policy idiots."

 

He's my President now, so I truly hopeful that I get to be amused by the "value voters" scum losing their collective **** for 4 years when Trump does virtually none of the things he promised them.

68 years of pro-choice. 2 years of force-birther.

Only time in his adult life he went to church was to get married.

And Jesus said onto his believers "Regret nothing, don't pay taxes, and grab you some ***** on your way out".

 

He'll change on things that aren't partisan is my guess. Immigration, Climate, things like that the GOP won't allow him to change on.

 

What has Trump changed with regards to Korea? Trump likes to quote General Douglas "Give me nukes to bomb the North Koreans in China" McArthur every chance he gets. McArthur once said that Taiwain was the "unsinkable aircraft carrier".

 

The Donald has already changed his "deport all of the legals on the first day" position, right?

 

Considering he's been a democrat, it's not a surprise. After meeting Obama after winning, it seems like he realizes he actually needs Obama's assistance given his total lack of competence and qualifications for the job.

 

Wait, where exactly does he reverse his stance on South Korea. Serious question.

Wasn't his point that he wants S. Korea and Japan to pay more for US military presence. He could completely continue that stance. And it doesn't just have to be direct payments, but better trade deals.

Seems one could argue Trump's gambit to get S. Korea to not take US military presence for granted has worked....with Park convening a special national security meeting after SK's stocks fell 2% to discuss this. Hell, I for one don't think we need to guard the damn 38th parallel anymore. It is China's role to provide stability in that region anyhow. Obama and Clinton have stated that, as well.

 

He shot for the moon on that one so it's getting turned down to something more 'reasonable'. Not a wall, maybe a fence...not banning all Muslims, just people from countries that Muslims come from.

But...

maybe you are right, hilarious if true...

 

Trump's big three are: illegal immigration, wall, and trade.

I felt that his take on the ACA was to "unify" the party (i.e. Ryan and McConnel). He used rhetoric about ISIS to attack Clinton's tenure as State Secretary.

Other than those big three, Trump seems like he can legitimately compromise on his issues. He can especially use the ACA as a way to get what he wants from both Democrats and Republicans. Of course this all assumes that Trump does at least some governing.
