On Wednesday, president Trump managed to change his stance on four different policies that were key campaign promises he made to voters.
Here are the four issues he has flip-flopped on to:
1. Labeling China a currency manipulator
Speaking with the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday, Trump indicated that because China is not artificially deflating the value of its currency, he doesnt feel as if it would be appropriate to label them as a currency manipulator.
Theyre not currency manipulators, Trump said in the interview, arguing that China hasnt manipulated their currency for months. Trump also added that he did not want to make any moves that would derail talks with China on taming North Koreas aggression.
This was an often used battle cry for Trump on the campaign trail as he made his pitch that he would be tougher on trade. Trump argued that he would label China a currency manipulator on day one, but it appears he wont label them on any day at all.
Trump also criticized Obama for not labeling China a currency manipulator way back in 2012.
Once again Obama fails to classify China as a currency manipulator. He just helped China steal even more jobs and money from us.

And my guess is that if China continues to behave, Trump will not need to make that claim. Probably something they discussed at Mar-a-Lago. Ya think?
If interest rates rise, interest on the national debt also rises, blowing a huge hole in the budget. So keep Ms. Yellen a while longer so she can "be political" for Trump.
"so Trumps flip-flop on this issue (EXIM) is likely to anger many in the conservative base ..."
Awwwwww. Dey gonna get angwy? Maybe they should have supported Trump's healthcare proposal. Trump doesn't owe the conservatives SHIT.

Give it time. I suspect before it is over, there will be more.
