I don ' t think your going to get a good answer from the dude you asked . I ' ll try and bite though . I already expect politicians to lie and flipflop . Other , seasoned politicians are better at being more subtle about it . They are tactful in their words and phrasing most of the time , and leave openings to change their position if it gives them an advantage or even more rare , a genuine opinion change . Trump has no tact and no subtlety . He is loud and unashamed with his opinions , which makes his flipflops glaringly obvious . We absolutely should hold him and all others to a high standard , but we also have to remember that almost every politician does this when it benefits himher . So it ' s hard for me to hate on Trump for what is at this point an institutional problem . With media , it ' s just bias , bias , bias . I try and get news from several sources , including gag here to stay informed on all sides . On the othet hand , my parents are prolbgt but conservative , and had no idea Pence has an issue with this . They listen to nothing but FOX , which says things you ' d never see on CNN , but censors things that you would see elswhere . Its so overwhelming and there is so much halftruths and biases that it looks like everyone is lying but your main source of news .
