Presidential wannabe Donald Trump claims he had a major conversion on abortion rights — but Big Apple Republicans who know the mogul well are dismissing his candidacy as a publicity ploy.
Trump now opposes abortion after supporting it for years, he said in an interview with Pat Robertson’s Christian Broadcasting Network.
“I’m pro-life, but I changed my view a number of years ago,” Trump said, telling a story of a friend who decided to keep a baby.
Meanwhile, local GOP operatives are rolling their eyes at Trump’s bid to be commander-in-chief.
“I know Donald a long time. I never take him seriously. I don’t think he’s a serious candidate,” said former Staten Island Congressman Guy Molinari.
But a spokesman for Trump said the real-estate developer’s looming run for the White House is legit.
