Donald Trump reversed his position after suffering swift backlash from both conservatives and liberals on his comments that women should be punished for getting an illegal abortion.
In an interview set to air on MSNBC Wednesday night, Donald Trump upset both abortion rights advocates and opponents and drew criticism from the rest of the presidential field.
There are two key words to understand Trump's thinking: "fairness" and "leverage." He believes a possible brokered convention and complex delegate allocation rules tilt the process against him.
The president decried the media's role in and responsibility for the current political climate — and this campaign — at a journalism award dinner Monday night.
