He massively fucked up when he appointed justices to overturn Roe while trying to kiss his evangelical supporters on their collective hypocritical butts. He knows. So, now that he's running to get the coveted keys to the White House again, but this time to stay out of prison, he's acting like a used car salesman trying his damnedest to sell a Ford Pinto to a car-savvy couple.
