The Most Incoherent Donald Trump Excuse Yet

“An older line answer”

Donald Trump is still trying to clean up the mess he made with his MSNBC town hall, when he said outright that abortion should be criminalized and women who have abortions should be punished. He obviously wants to take it back because he has a dim understanding of just how horrible it made him look; and all he did was follow the logic of the anti-choice movement’s positions to their logical conclusion.

That’s what he said, there’s no whitewashing it. And in a way, this was one of the most honest things he’s said yet.

But today he tried again to explain it away again, in one of the most hilariously incoherent statements to come out of his orange face yet.

A transcript of this image, just so it’s recorded in the Googles:

JOHN DICKERSON: Let me ask you a question about abortion. What would you do to further restrict women’s access to abortions as president?

DONALD TRUMP: Well, look, look, I mean, I know where you’re going and I just want to say a question was asked to me. And it was asked in a very hypothetical. And it was said, “Illegal, illegal.” I’ve been told by some people that was an older line answer and that was an answer that was given on a, you know, basis of an older line from years ago on a very conservative basis.

JOHN DICKERSON: Your original answer, you mean?

DONALD TRUMP: My original.

Good grief, folks. Good freaking grief. The GOP’s front-runner for president of the United States.
