"I was able to kill Roe v. Wade."

The MoJo Daily newsletter, Monday through Friday. [View in browser]( [Mother Jones Daily Newsletter](     May 17, 2023 Donald Trump is not great at the English language, and therefore, routinely fails to make much sense. But sometimes, it isn't so much idiocy that explains his nonsensical, chaotic remarks. In fact, regarding abortion, I suspect that Trump's failure to communicate a coherent stance is intentional.

After all, the same dude who [blamed the GOP's views on abortion]( for the party's poor midterm performance [just took credit for killing Roe v. Wade](. So sure, Trump may not be willing to commit an exact number of weeks to his extremism, [as Ron DeSantis recently complained](.
