Trump had a different take on flag burning when he visited David Letterman last year

As the conversation turned to freedom of expression, Letterman brought up flag burning.

“Here’s the example that I’m always proud of as an American,” the host told Trump. “People, to demonstrate, they think, we’re really gonna stick it the United States. ‘We’re going to set fire to the flag.’ ”

“Yeah, right,” Trump said.

“And people get — ‘Oh my God!’ ” Letterman said. “Well, no. If that’s how you feel, go ahead and burn the flag. Because this country is far greater than that symbol, and that symbol is standing for freedom of expression.”

“Sure. You’re 100 percent right,” Trump said, noting that Letterman seemed worked up about the issue. “I understand where you’re coming from. It’s terrific.”

1. Personally I think Trump has no core convictions on anything.

So yes, he had a different take on Letterman. But the bottom line is that he didn't care then or now.

3. He is a Trump supremacist, and an insecure one.

These two evident behavioral adpects explain everything he has ever said or done, and everything he ever will say or do. He wants what he wants when he wants it, but five minutes later may want something else.

8. Someone wrote that he agrees with whoever the last person he spoke to was

That seems about right.

2. More proof the Twitter thing is rabbit hole food for the MSM, they'll keep chasing it because they

... don't understand their own group think.

One way to tell if DPutin is talking shit is the level of inflammatory shit he'll say on Twitter ... look for the more damaging information.

We're in for a wild ride the next four years

4. He just says whatever, whenever, to whoever, depending on how much they flatter him.

5. I'm still convinced it's just a distraction maneuver

He doesn't give a shit what he says on Twitter just so long as it has the desired outcome.

When something bad about him is in the news, like his many many conflicts of interest, he comes up with some moronic inflammatory tweet and poof the news is all over it. This flag bullshit came out of thin air, nobody was talking about flag burning.

He's used this technique beautifully to play the media ever since he started his run for President.

7. It distracted from his appointments. eom

6. That's what I find

so scary about him.

How can anyone ever tell what he really believes when he flip flops whenever the wind changes.
