Donald Trump’s agenda a mystery as interviews contradict position papers

...........
Mr. Trump has released position papers on six issues so far: tax reform, Second Amendment rights, reforms at Veterans Affairs, U.S.-China trade relations, health care and immigration, where he’s released two papers. The first of the immigration papers laid out broad goals, while the second gave details on how he might pay for his border wall.

But other than immigration, the other papers rarely went beyond broad prescriptions — and often were contradicted by Mr. Trump himself soon after.



On tax reform Mr. Trump proposed new income tax brackets with lower rates for labor and investment income, and said he would then eliminate many of the exemptions and deductions that taxpayers currently use to reduce their burden.

His written plan says the mortgage interest and charitable donation deductions will remain for everyone, but the wealthy would keep few other exemptions. Likewise for corporations, where he said his new low rates would make existing loopholes and deductions “unnecessary or redundant.”

But a day after he released his tax plan, Mr. Trump began caveating his pledge in an interview on Fox News. Asked about deductions for corporate jets, Mr. Trump said those should be left intact. And when host Bill O’Reilly asked about deductions for sports tickets, Mr. Trump said those should stay too.

........
Mr. Trump has repeatedly signaled he’s willing to bend, and told Fox News last week that “everything, honestly, is going to be up” for negotiations.

You can't pin him down till the Democrats have told him what they'll agree to yet.


AG ?@AG_Conservative

Trump has discovered one weird trick for getting people to agree with him: Taking both sides of every issue. http://wpo.st/7IrZ1
