Donald Trump will call for six weeks of paid maternity leave for new mothers in a Tuesday policy address, breaking with GOP orthodoxy.
The GOP presidential nominee will outline the policy as part of a speech sketching out his child care plans as Trump reaches out to female voters.
“Our plan … creates a bipartisan solution to the issue of maternity leave,” a Trump aide said on a Tuesday campaign call with reporters.
“Our campaign is about getting things done for the American people, and we believe we’ve found a solution on paid maternity leave that could get very broad, bipartisan support and be completely self-financing.”
The campaign said new mothers will receive unemployment benefits for six weeks paid for by eliminating fraud in unemployment insurance, describing the maternity leave as a “safety net” for new mothers.

Hey @seanhannity and @IngrahamAngle, hope selling your soul for Trump was worth it, because this is really awkward. https://t.co/KUjZpEV57N

I can't think of a time Republicans have ever won a "tastes great less filling" debate with Democrats on gubment benes.

Trump's cuck conversion to the same Republican his base claims to hate is complete now that he's running on "waste, fraud, and abuse."

Do we need any more proof that Trump is a liberal?
