The flip-flop President will change his mind once too often

has been shrugged off by Trump who now sees it as inconsequential.

His latest flip-flop is a far cry from what he said on the campaign trail and shows how his greatest loyalty is to opportunism.

In October, before his election, he promised the US a 100-Day Action Plan. He called it his “Contract With The American Voter”.

Now just two days away, Trump has said it would be “a ridiculous standard” with which to judge him by.

The President, pictured, has shown he is the master at changing his position by cleverly reimagining almost everything he has ever spoken about.

For months, he condemned NATO as “obsolete,” falsely claiming that it doesn’t fight terrorism. A few weeks ago, after meeting with NATO’s secretary general, he said “It’s no longer obsolete … they made a change, and now they do fight terrorism.” NATO hadn’t changed, Trump’s mind did. Similar feats of his mental alchemy have seen him alter his mind on almost everything he campaigned on. Four years ago, when Barack Obama sought Congressional approval for military action in Syria in response to Bashar al-Assad’s use of chemical weapons, Trump rejected any intervention in a storm of tweets. On April 6, without consulting Congress, he attacked Syria, with the surreal explanation Obama’s “weakness and irresolution” made it necessary. He also targeted China throughout the campaign, saying on his first day in office he’d label it a currency manipulator and act to reverse its entry into the World Trade Organisation. Earlier this month, after his first meeting with the Chinese president, he declared the country’s money operations were fine while accepting at the same time a raft of Trump trademarks from Beijing.

He also lavished praise on Russia, even encouraging its meddling in the affairs of other nations, like the States.

On April 5, under attack for his campaign’s ties with Moscow, he said relations with Russia were worse than ever, “because they’re aligned” with Syria.

In another reversal, he now denies “knowing” Vladimir Putin.

Closer to home, he openly attacked Obama whenever he went on a summer holiday, while Trump said that as president he “would rarely leave the White House because there’s so much work to be done”. Thanks to his golfing weekends at his Florida mansion, the President is on target to run up more bills for travel in his first year than Obama did in his eight.

Of course, Trump’s foreign policy 180s are welcome, but those were not what won the hearts of his ardent supporters or his place in the White House.

He promised them so much more including jobs, better trade, health care reform as well as building a wall on the southern border with Mexico. None have so far transpired.

Old trade deals remain in place, Obamacare is still the law of the land, tax reform looks a long way off while his vow to “drain the swamp” has in fact seen it replenished with, among others, millionaire bankers.

Sooner or later, Trump’s supporters will realise they have been seduced and abandoned.

It may not be that long before he finds to his cost he is not the only one capable of making a 180.
