Recent Trump comments could alienate some supporters

Donald Trump is testing some of his supporters with recent comments about abortion and Israel. The former president holds a commanding lead in the Republican race for the nomination, but it appears he’s running the risk of alienating some supporters. He came under fire from pro-life leaders recently after calling Florida’s six-week abortion ban a “terrible mistake.” Last week, he publicly criticized Israel’s prime minister following a terrorist attack on the Jewish state, and Trump described Hezbollah militants as “very smart.” Comments that were condemned by his GOP rivals.
