Value, advocate, respect, etc.

Absolutely not. If they play to his benefit, he will talk about them and pretend, but end of the day he doesn't value anything other than his own sense of self-worth.

So far every relevant action Trump has taken has reduced the power of the Federal Government. In some cases he returned the responsibility to the States (transgender issues).

see #3, and then try to show evidence to dispute.
 
His policies, so far, have been very much state-centric. The health care bill is a prime example of that as is his stated take on abortion and gay rights.

yes hes proven hes a states rights valuer
 
I said I didn't know. He never used to, when he was a Democrat. Not sure what he values now except his own self.
 
Trump and republicans in general value state rights far more than any democrat has for the last 100 years.
 
Trump's only values are win, lose and revenge.
 
I can't say what Trump 'values', but his personality traits would seem to indicate he values himself above all.

However based upon his limited actions in office, he has been making moves that seem to support limiting the federal government's power and moving it to the states.

Trump only values what benefit hims today. Tomorrow that could be the opposite.
 
Liberals support states rights, now? :lamo

Every? Seems that he and his AG want to have the feds bring the hammer back down on marijuana enforcement and effectively undo everything some states have done.

Or, are you going to split hairs and say that's not yet an action so it doesn't qualify? Or, are you going to say that it's Sessions and not Trump, even though Trump Sessions is a Trump appointee and Trump himself has suggested the same thing?
 
Pretty much this. There have been some good examples put forth in this thread where states would gain more control, but that being as it may, I do not believe he is doing it for state's rights purposes.
 
Given his proposals and agenda, there should be no reason to ask the question. President Trump is most certainly a believer in States Rights.

There's no evidence of that.
