Trump doesn’t care about abortion at all, yet for some reason Dems think it‘ll be Handmaid‘s Tale. States can do what they want.
It's more important to look at what Trump does than what he says. Because he says whatever he thinks people will like. He's a chronic liar, by the way.

Trump did in fact enable the judges who changed the law on abortion.

Trump doesn't care about anything but himself, of course.

But the judges he appoints do. And if his first term is repeated, he'll again just appoint the far-right judges that republicans hand to him.

You're right, some things will be left up to states and I think we'll see more state divisions and self-sorting of people among states.

On abortion, it will be interesting to watch republicans fight over trying to push a nationwide ban. Trump is savvy and powerful enough to squash that, probably.
