Let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites. We\u2019ll start here. This is a montage, the Drive-By Media freaking out on Trump flip-flopping on tax cuts and background checks.<\/p>\nRUSH: Trump has come along and is calling the truth out every opportunity he gets. And it\u2019s kind of funny. One day Trump will say he\u2019s for a payroll tax cut and the media will fall for it. “Payroll tax cut. Trump\u2019s knows the recession\u2019s coming. Trump\u2019s trying to cut taxes to stave off the recession.”<\/p>\n
Then the next couple days go by, “No, no, no, we\u2019re not gonna cut taxes, we\u2019re not gonna cut the payroll, we don\u2019t need to cut taxes, the economy\u2019s going great.” The Democrats have to react to that. So all they can say is Trump\u2019s losing it, Trump\u2019s caving, or Trump\u2019s backtracking, or Trump doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s doing one day or the next, when he knows exactly what he\u2019s doing day to day.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites. We\u2019ll start here. This is a montage, the Drive-By Media freaking out on Trump flip-flopping on tax cuts and background checks.<\/p>\n
CHRIS JANSING: Trump heads to Europe in a few days where his snubs and flip-flops will meet head on with global consequences.<\/p>\n
JOE SCARBOROUGH: You could go through a variety of issues there, and he\u2019s flip-flopping, the president is frantically flip-flopping by the day.<\/p>\n
DOMINIC CHU: President Trump once again flip-flops on his commitment to economic stimulus.<\/p>\n
AYMAN MOHYELDIN: Trump\u2019s flip-flopping on payroll tax cuts.<\/p>\n
JIM SCIUTTO: He flip-flopped on new tax cuts.<\/p>\n
JOHN AVLON: He flip-flopped for — I\u2019m losing track — the third or fourth time.<\/p>\n
ANDERSON COOPER: I don\u2019t even know if flip-flop is the right thing, \u2019cause that implies you actually held a position and then changed your position.<\/p>\n
RUSH: See, now who is it, they have a mantra, they have their go-to reaction, now Trump is flip flopping. Trump doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s doing is what this means, Trump is out of control, Trump doesn\u2019t know what he believes, Trump is too stupid to even know what he\u2019s proposing. He proposes something and a staff member has to come, “No, Mr. President, you can\u2019t talk about cutting the payroll tax.\u201d So Trump goes, “Okay. I didn\u2019t mean we\u2019re gonna cut the payroll tax.” And, meanwhile, these people, look at what they think is the grave error that Trump is committing here. He\u2019s flip-flopping. This is in the Washington establishment political playbook 101.<\/p>\n
You are not to flip-flop. A flip-flopper is inconsistent. A flip-flopper is somebody who doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s doing. You do not flip-flop. So they think Trump has flip-flopped. They haven\u2019t the slightest idea who Trump is or what he\u2019s doing and how he\u2019s doing it. They have no idea. I\u2019ll just let you in, he\u2019s not flip-flopping.<\/p>\n

How many times have we pointed out — just yesterday I reminded everybody, there\u2019s a cabinet meeting, first time cameras are allowed in the whole thing. He tells Dianne Feinstein (paraphrasing), \u201cYou know what, I\u2019ll work with you on comprehensive immigration reform. I think we can get something done there.\u201d She goes crazy. She gets excited. “Oh, my God. We\u2019re gonna get it done.” She starts taking notes and so forth. It was a week later Trump yanked it back.<\/p>\n
How many times has he done this on gun control already? It isn\u2019t flip-flopping. It\u2019s considering options and then making up your mind later on. Trump is a stream of consciousness. They are convinced that Trump is sounding confused and incoherent to the American people. They are forgetting something key. Trump\u2019s base gets him. Trump\u2019s base understands.<\/p>\n
Trump\u2019s base doesn\u2019t care that he\u2019s flip-flopping. They don\u2019t even look at it as though he\u2019s flipping flopping. They look at it as Trump toying with the Democrats, and it\u2019s working! He\u2019s driving \u2019em nuts! By the way, speaking of flip-flops, grab audio sound bite number 2. There was a pretty, pretty major flip-flop when it happened, and it was called by the Drive-By Media a wonderful evolution. It wasn\u2019t a problem at all.<\/p>\n
BROOKE BALDWIN: Breaking news here. The president is now speaking up. His evolution has finished when it comes to equal rights and marriage.<\/p>\n
ED HENRY: The president said in December of 2010 that he was “evolving” on this issue. We\u2019re getting new information now suggesting that he is ready perhaps to complete that evolution.<\/p>\n
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: A key issue where his thinking has evolved.<\/p>\n
BRET BAIER: You\u2019re right, there has been an evolution.<\/p>\n
SHEPARD SMITH: The president of the United States, now in the 21st Century.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So we had Brooke Baldwin, infobabe at CNN, Ed Henry. He was I guess at Fox then. George Stephanopoulos, ABC, Bret Baier, Sheppard Smith. Notice Obama, this was about changing his mind and agreeing that gay marriage is a good thing to do, and Biden is the guy that actually kind of forced this to happen.<\/p>\n
Obama was dead set against gay marriage, and the reason he was is because he had to do something to convince people that Reverend Wright was not his pastor. And Reverend Wright, do not doubt me, Reverend Wright ain\u2019t no way is for gay marriage. But Reverend Wright\u2019s a big radical out there. Obama had to do something. Obama was steadfastly opposed. He also had to be steadfastly opposed to gay marriage \u2019cause he\u2019s trying to do his best to convince people of his Christian beliefs! It was necessary to get elected. He could not have gotten elected in 2008 being for gay marriage.<\/p>\n
Then Biden comes out some years later speaking for the administration, we are for gay marriage, and Obama does the flip-flop, and guess what, it\u2019s an evolution. He\u2019s evolving. He\u2019s growing. Now, I know the subject matter is something the left approves of in the media, but it\u2019s still a flip-flop. But you\u2019ll notice there\u2019s no allegation that Obama flip-flopped. No, no, no, no! Obama grew. Obama was evolving.<\/p>\n
