On Truth Social, Donald Trump Tries to Refashion Himself as Supportive of Abortion Rights
His post about “reproductive rights” appeared to be an attempt to cast himself as a political moderate on an issue that has the potential to be damaging to him in November.

“Donald J. Trump, who recently said he has “no regrets” about appointing the Supreme Court supermajority that overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling on abortion rights, declared on social media on Friday that his administration will be “great” for women’s “reproductive rights.”
Mr. Trump’s use of the specific phrase “reproductive rights” — the language used by abortion-rights advocates — appeared to be an effort by the former president to refashion himself as essentially supportive of abortion rights and as a political moderate on an issue that has the potential to be damaging to him in November.
“My Administration will be great for women and their reproductive rights,” he wrote on Friday morning on Truth Social, his social media platform.”
Spoken like a man of principle, the principle of not having principles.
