WASHINGTON (AP) – What’s wrong with being flexible? All presidents change their minds. He’s only human.

President Donald Trump’s voters can be a forgiving lot – up to a point.

“He thinks too fast and then makes decisions too fast,” says Miriam Naranjo in Miami Lakes, Florida.

“He’s changing his mind on almost everything he said,” says Bob Brown, of South Windsor, Connecticut.

Naranjo is willing to give Trump more time. Brown is not.
