He tried and failed. Trump never intended to try a lot of these crazy things he said.

He's already backed down on that. He said he has more important things to do.

Trump will appoint a conservative judge though, there's no way around it. First, I think he probably actually does want a conservative judge and even if he didn't, the right isn't going to confirm someone who isn't.

Trump hasn't been clear on this at all. And it's also uncertain what "conservative judge" means. Is that a judge who will look to overturn Roe v. Wade, or at least allow states to regulate abortion clinics out of existence? Or is that a judge who will protect the Second Amendment and DC v. Heller? A judge who will uphold racist voter ID laws? A judge who will gut civil rights legislation? Or maybe all of the above? It's not clear.

During his last interview on 60 minutes, Trump said he would appoint a pro-life judge . . . presumably, a judge who is open to overturning Roe. But then Trump said that gay marriage is a moot issue because of the Obergefell decision. So who the fukk knows. :pachaha:

Obama Says Trump Told Him He Would Support NATO, After Threats to Abandon It

President Obama said today that President-elect Donald Trump told him personally that he would maintain a strong "commitment" to NATO -- after the real estate mogul threatened to abandon the alliance during the campaign.

Obama made the remarks at a press briefing at the White House just before departing on his last trip overseas as president, an opportunity he'll take to signal "solidarity with our closest allies," he said.

"In my conversation with the president-elect he expressed a great interest in maintaining our core strategic relationships, and so one of the messages I will be able to deliver is his commitment to NATO and the Transatlantic Alliance," Obama said.

"I think that's one of the most important functions I can serve at this stage during this trip is to let them know that there is no weakening of resolve when it comes to America's commitment to maintaining a strong and robust NATO relationship and a recognition that those alliances aren't just good for Europe," the president added. "They are good for the United States and they are vital for the world."

During his presidential campaign Donald Trump described NATO as "obsolete," while also suggesting he may not honor the organization's most sacred covenant of mutual defense (an attack on one is an attack on all) in the face of outside aggression.

“If they fulfill their obligations to us, the answer is yes," Trump told The New York Times in July when asked if he would defend the Baltic states from an attack by Russia.

Trump has said NATO needs to spend more on its own defense and has complained that not every member is in compliance with their obligation to spend 2 percent of gross domestic product on national defense.

Days after the election, NATO's Secretary-General, Jens Stoltenberg, penned an op-ed in The Guardian warning that "this is no time to question the value of the partnership between Europe and the United States."

Stoltenberg also issued a stark reminder, seemingly aimed at Trump, that NATO's mutual defense clause has been invoked only once: when NATO allies deployed in support of the United States after the terror attacks of September 11, 2001.
