God fucking damnit, even his most boneheaded supporters should realize the impossibility of that statement:

Some people want to allow some form of abortions.
Some people want no abortions under any circumstance.

There is literally no scenario (or "deal") where both of those groups of people would be happy. They're absolutely mutually exclusive. But like everything else that fat slobbing orange skidmark says, it's vapid and gibberish enough that his supporters hear whatever they want to hear.

Vote for Kodos!

(except if they need it, because in that case it's justified)

[-] zeppo@lemmy.world 45 points 4 months ago

Everyone should have known this instantly about this laughable con artist just by the way he talks. Big, broad claims with zero specifics. At this point we’re still waiting for the health plan which will be so much better than the ACA.

Gotta get through infrastructure week first.

[-] evatronic@lemm.ee 7 points 4 months ago

Two weeks.

[-] PeterLossGeorgeWall@lemmy.dbzer0.com 41 points 4 months ago

Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others!

It makes no difference which one of us you vote for. Either way, your planet is doomed, doomed!

[-] Cyberflunk@lemmy.world 33 points 4 months ago

Vapor. like everything else.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 26 points 4 months ago

He’ll announce it after infrastructure week.

[-] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 13 points 4 months ago

And right after the new Obamacare!

[-] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 26 points 4 months ago

The deal will be that rich people can buy indulgences.

[-] jeffw@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

So, exactly how it works in states with bans now?

[-] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 6 points 4 months ago

Yeah basically. But he wants to market it and sell it.

TRUMP Indulgences. They’re the best. Better than any other. Trust me, I’m the best Christian

[-] whostosay@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Well I got mine in a former president/current rapist approved state at one of the Trump clinics. That's the thing, it doesn't matter if what I'm doing is moral or has any thought. It just matters that the guy that I like (you know, for being a rapist and bragging on national television) is in on the take!

[-] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 4 months ago

Their pamphlet starts with "oh, so you met Donald Trump?" Then go on about abortion

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 21 points 4 months ago

Unless he's talking about getting a post-birth abortion for himself....that is.

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 3 points 4 months ago

He's going to voluntarily slither back into his mother's anus.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Just saying nobody actually likes him, so the one thing he can do that everyone will celebrate (if only privately,) is offing himself.

[-] YaksDC@lemm.ee 21 points 4 months ago

He'll release it with his healthcare plan, I am sure it will be huge.

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 16 points 4 months ago

His deal is a total ban and free season on his "enemies."

That's it.

This time, he will make the "Right people suffer" that the lady down in Florida wanted in 2019. She will, too, eventually, but that's besides the point.

[-] Zippy@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

Everyone?

[-] jeffw@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

He makes the best deals, after all

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 1 points 4 months ago

Yeah Everyone*

*Everyone is defined as the only people that count as people: himself.

[-] Marthirial@lemmings.world 6 points 4 months ago

Maybe he gets aborted into the antichrist. I am OK with that.

[-] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 5 points 4 months ago

The only way he can achieve that promise involves self-abortion.
