U.S. Presidential Candidate Donald Trump Contradicts Himself

WASHINGTON - The former president and Republican nominee floated making either the U.S. government or insurance companies  pay for expensive in vitro fertilization treatments, crossing both abortion activists and small-government conservatives. “I kept hearing that I’m against it, and I’m actually very much for it,” Trump said at a town hall in Wisconsin. It’s not clear how he would square an expensive government mandate with his longtime opposition to the Affordable Care Act, which also required insurance companies to cover certain services. Trump also had to clarify his position about a six-week abortion ban in Florida. Trump said he thinks the six-week ban is “too short” for women. “It has to be more time,” he said. But he later told Fox News he would oppose a Florida ballot initiative that would reverse the current six-week policy put in place by Republicans who run the state government.
