Trump may be a liar, but it's probably a miscalculation to think he has greater loyalty to the Republican Party than to himself.
Trump is a real estate guy. His business is intrinsically tied to the US. He can't outsource hotel construction jobs to China. That makes being anti-globalization an easy path for him.
Moreover, more capital sloshing around in the US instead of going overseas means lower interest rates for construction loans.
First of all, HuffPo is uh, far from an unbiased source when it comes to Trump. But secondly, a lot of that stuff has very flimsy reasoning behind it:
> 11. Claim: “She wasn’t dragged to the ground.” — Trump on Fields.
> Reality: Trump implies here that Fields said she was dragged to the ground. She never did.
> She said, “I almost fell to the ground, but was able to maintain my balance,” which is what the video shows.
If you follow the link with her quote, right before the "I almost fell..." sentence, in her own words she says "Someone had grabbed me tightly by the arm and yanked me down."
Which directly contradicts
> Reality: Trump implies here that Fields said she was dragged to the ground. She never did.
So uh, HuffPo is lying here about a time they claimed Trump is lying?
And then you get stuff like this:
> 53. Claim: “I am not soliciting money from insurance companies and from lumber companies and from banks and from — if I did, I would have made Jeb Bush look like a baby.”
> Reality: He made Bush look like a baby anyway.
Are we reaching here or what? They're seriously trying to say he's lying about not making Jeb look bad? And then you've got stuff like this:
> 40. Claim: “Only a fool would give a tax return [during an audit].”
> Realty: Lawyers do advise against doing this. But nothing about being audited prevents Trump from releasing his tax records.
So yeah, he's right that he shouldn't give out his tax return during an audit. What is he lying about here? He never said he couldn't, just that he shouldn't.
If the disclaimer the HuffPo puts on every Trump article hasn't clued you in, they've clearly got an axe to grind against him and you're not exactly guaranteed to get unbiased reporting about him from them.
It is Republican orthodoxy to be against consumer and labor rights.
He has absolutely no interest in abandoning the TPP, since, as a Republican, he is in favor of exporting US jobs.
When dealing with Trump, it it important to ignore what he says, because he will literally lie 71 times in a single speech: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-fact-check_...
