Trump in 2013: We must 'leave borders behind' because future of US 'depends on a cohesive global eco

Source: Business Insider

Donald Trump, who has championed anti-free-trade and hardline immigration rhetoric on the 2016 presidential campaign trail, had a starkly different tone about globalization in a 2013 op-ed published on CNN's website.

The Republican presidential nominee, writing about how Europe was a "terrific place" for investment, argued at the time that the 2008 recession had made it clear "the global economy has become truly that — global."

Trump continued: "In this case, the solution is clear. We will have to leave borders behind and go for global unity when it comes to financial stability."

The real-estate mogul concluded his op-ed by writing that the future of the US and Europe "depends on a cohesive global economy."

He's ever done, is make up stuff to get attention.
I don't think he really stands for anything or any platform what so ever. He is only concerned with himself. He would turn on his supporters in a heart beat to further advance
his self interests.

need to be excoriated for their failure to provide even a cursory background check with Trump. Tell me how one reporter has been able to find out so much about Trump when everyone else has revealed nothing?
