This isn't just small tweaks. This is complete reversals of stance on important issues (like gun control, universal healthcare, abortions...etc.). Not to mention where he has given money and who he has spoken highly of politician wise (spoken highly of Pelosi, Hillary, Obama...etc.). Trump has even been on the record stating that he is a democrat.
I don't trust him. I have no evidence that shows I should trust him. I have no reason to believe his new stances are really what he believes when he changed them for an election year. Especially from someone who has not held political office or has a voting record. If a politician that held office changed their mind and had a voting record to prove that new stance as well as bills that they brought forward to support that new stance, I would be all for that. Trump has none of that.
