Former President Donald Trump recently commented on the changes made to the GOP platform, highlighting the removal of what he referred to as 'gay bans' and other 'ridiculous' elements. Trump expressed his disapproval of such restrictions, emphasizing that they do not align with the party's values. He commended the new platform as a move towards 'common sense' and away from divisive policies.
During an interview on Fox News Radio, Trump addressed the modifications to the platform, which now features softened language on issues like abortion and same-sex marriage. When questioned about whether these changes were aimed at appealing to moderates, Trump asserted that the adjustments were not about targeting a specific group but rather about embracing practical and inclusive principles.
The Republican Party recently adopted a new platform tailored to reflect Trump's policies and elevate his role within the party, positioning him as a central figure in its future endeavors. Trump lauded the platform's stance on key issues, particularly highlighting the party's support for overturning Roe v. Wade and returning the abortion debate to individual states.
Regarding the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, Trump expressed satisfaction with the outcome, describing it as a significant achievement. He emphasized the importance of allowing states to determine their own policies on abortion, indicating a shift towards a more decentralized approach to the issue.
