Why Trump’s Time interview is even worse than you think
Donald Trump's wide-ranging interview with Time magazine's Eric Cortellessa was a cautionary tale about cutting loose an infamously unmoored candidate with a print reporter, who also published a transcript and fact check of the conversation.
The interview hit on a series of topics that suggest that Trump's second-term agenda would greatly deviate from what voters actually want. The progressive consortium Navigator Research combed through the interview to find hot-button topics on which Trump's agenda is wildly out of step with public sentiment.
Among the many policies that Trump discussed and sometimes dodged were the termination of Roe v. Wade (of which he is extraordinarily proud), a national abortion ban (which he repeatedly refused to say he would veto), and pardoning Jan. 6 rioters (he would "absolutely" consider pardoning them all).
