No, he isn't.

Yes he is?

He's experimenting with pandering to voters who are dissatisfied with Obama's absolutely shitty reaction to whistle-blowers and Biden's failure to be better.
Trump is considering how best to sway voters, I can assure you he doesn't give a shit about giving justice to the whistle-blowers that were wronged.

Or Assange.

Assange is a pretty shitty person, I agree - but the US's outstanding warrants for his arrest are clearly awful.

Trump will 'consider' anything that gets him money, power, or votes.

That's politics for you. I just thought it was interesting

Oh, it's definitely interesting. I'm glad you posted it because I think it's a pretty good sign he's actually getting worried (and has reason to doubt the polling we've seen that's strongly in his favor... and, like obviously the polling is wrong - we just don't know how wrong). Him being worried and trying random things to try and shake things up makes me happy!
