The article critiques Donald Trump's tendency to flip-flop on significant issues, particularly his stance on tax rates and reproductive rights. While his 2017 tax bill lowered the top tax rate to 37%, his recent indications of reintroducing a higher rate for top earners have unsettled congressional Republicans. This unpredictability, along with his historical evasiveness on abortion, showcases a disconnect between Trump's agenda and traditional GOP values, leaving Republican leaders frustrated as they attempt to advance budget legislation aligned with his shifting priorities.
