President Donald J. Trump explained his perspective on the national abortion debate in America, as well as committing to walking away from Democrats if they were unwilling to negotiate on the matter in good faith, in comments made during an exclusive interview with The National Pulse’s Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam.

“You’re putting this thing forward now on abortion to say, hey, listen, the country is sick of having this argument all the time. They actually want a solution to it… But if the Democrats come back to you and say, no, we’re not interested in a deal with you, are you willing to then say, well, look, we tried, now these Republicans are going to do what they’re going to do?” Kassam asked.

“Sure, oh sure, sure,” Trump replied, adding: “[T]he Democrats are the radicals because they’re willing, remember, I said during my debate with Hillary… [to] rip the baby out of the womb in the seventh, eighth, ninth month. And that really shook people up… I said she’s willing to rip the baby out of the womb.”

“I think something can happen,” Trump went on, “This is an issue that’s been going on for 52 years. I was able to end it. That gave tremendous negotiating power to the pro-life movement, tremendous negotiating power, because they can’t do the things that they used to be able to do. The pro-life was fighting it. We have these groups fighting this thing for so many decades, but it’s exactly 52 years as of a date in the not too distant future. And that’s a long time. Everybody’s raising money all the time. Everybody. I don’t know, maybe it’s some kind of a business. I don’t know what’s going on, but a lot of money. Everybody was amazed that I was able to do it and I put them in a great negotiating position and we don’t want to blow it. This is an incredible thing that happened. And we also bring it back to the states, which everybody, all legal scholars, both sides wanted it brought back to the states. We did a lot of things. We’re in a tremendous position to negotiate something very good right now. And we’ll see what that is.”

Trump’s commitment to walking around from intransigent Democrats flies in the face of what his opponents in the Republican primary have claimed since his interview with Meet The Press, that is, that the man who almost single-handedly ended Roe v Wade is somehow now pro-abortion. The 45th’s President’s comment on the “business” of the pro-life lobby is likely to rankle those who have profiteered off the matter for decades, achieving precisely nothing until the Trump administration, besides the fattening of their own wallets.
