Donald Trump promises to crack down on pornography if elected president

The American people can count on Donald Trump doing at least one thing if he is elected president: cracking down on pornography. The Washington Examiner reported Monday that on July 16, the Republican nominee signed a pledge from the anti-porn group Enough is Enough vowing to better enforce laws against pornography if he wins the White House this fall.
Trump, by signing the pledge, also promised to "seriously consider appointing a special commission to explore effects of pornography on Americans, aggressively enforce the Children's Internet Protection Act, work with corporations on anti-porn initiatives, and advance other public policies to protect children from pornography," The Washington Examiner wrote. Enough is Enough deems pornography detrimental to society.
While some think the move could win Trump the support of more conservatives, others see the signature as out of character for a man who has posed on the cover of Playboy, put a strip club in his Atlantic City casino, and is married to woman who has posed nude with another woman on a magazine cover.
