On his nationally syndicated radio talk show Thursday, host Mark Levin warned Trump supporters about instances where President Trump had flip-flopped on policy positions that he held during the primaries and noted that “getting a deal to get a deal … is not acceptable.”

“Getting a deal to get a deal, ladies and gentleman, is not acceptable,” stated Mark Levin. “It’s not acceptable. Getting a deal to get a deal, further bloats the budget, doesn’t secure the border, doesn’t protect America, then it’s a rotten deal.”

Levin’s comments stem from conversations he had with listeners on his show, wherein he asked Trump supporters how they felt about President Trump flip-flopping on a wide range of issues: from Trump’s stance on the export-import bank to involvement in the Syrian conflict and from his stance on NATO to Obamacare, among other things.

Below is a transcript of the comments from Mark Levin’s show:

“What I’m demonstrating here in part, ladies and gentleman, is there are some people who voted for Donald Trump because they like Donald Trump, and nothing is going to cause them in any respect to even raise questions.

“And so they begin to rationalize everything that’s been done. ‘Well, of course, he’s doing this to make America great again.’ Well, wait a minute. I thought getting rid of the export-import, import-export, export-import bank was making America great again. ‘No, no, no, no. Now he’s really making America great again. America first.’

“Well now, wait a minute. I thought these positions he held during the campaign was America first?

“‘No, no. You don’t understand. Now they’re really America first because after this, then he’s going to get the best deal that he can.’

“And what are the principles? ‘Don’t worry about principles. He’s negotiating. He believes in what’s best for America.’

“And so, I believe this is about a third of his support base. And maybe even a somewhat smaller percentage of the population generally. Maybe it’s somewhat bigger.

“And I also believe that if he thinks he needs to change his position, given the circumstances, that he should, as long as it’s based on some principle. Getting a deal to get a deal, ladies and gentleman, is not acceptable. Getting a deal to get a deal, further bloats the budget, doesn’t secure the border, doesn’t protect America, then it’s a rotten deal.

“Obama got a deal. He would do anything he could to get a deal with the Iranians.

“Now, I understand, that’s not Trump – please. But that’s not my point.

“Getting a deal is a process. It’s not substantive. So it’s not enough to get a deal. You have to have a deal, you have to have, you know, something substantive.

“And I don’t want to keep hearing that he’s a businessman. Some businessmen are great. Some businessmen suck. Some business organizations are great. Some suck, like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Some businessmen as president suck too. Herbert Hoover’s a prime example.

“I don’t want to hear— These are platitudes. They have nothing substantive behind them.

“‘Well, he’s a businessman.’ Oh, okay. Forget it. I didn’t mean anything.

“You can do that on other shows. You can do that with other hosts, with the pom-pom boys and The Rockettes and all the rest. It doesn’t work here. You gotta, you gotta go beyond the superficial and the nonsense.

“This isn’t a rally. This is a discussion.

“‘Well, look. He’s a successful businessman.’ I know that.

“Now, I want him to be a successful president. I want him to advance a conservative agenda as much as he possibly can.”
