Something changed in Final Cut Pro X. When I use to import videos, the aspect ratio did not dictate it's position in portrait or landscape. Now, FCPX is importing and automtically making the decision for me. How do I change this. The original is in portrait, but FCPX puts it into Landscape.

Maybe post a screenshot or two showing what you mean would help.
Importing a video clip does not change it in any way.
But maybe the metadata in some clips is incorrect, and a 1080x1920 is seen as being 1920x1080 or something like that.
Please elaborate.
You can also open one such clip in Quicktime Player, press command-I and post a screenshot, then show us what you get on import.

When I look at the original video, it is in Portrait 1080 x 1920. When I import to FCP, it gets flipped to the left into 1920 X 1080. I use to be able to import videos, regardless of their aspect ratio and it would keep the orientation.
Use Shift-Cmd-4. Crosshairs will replace the pointer. Drag a box around the area you want to screenshot. The image will be saved in your desktop. Use the Image insertion button in your reply to attach the image.
Can you answer the other questions?
What other questions? What exactly am I taking a screen shot of? When I try to take a shot of the quicktime movie, I get an error sound. If I try to take a shot of the this screen, I get nothing. Getting really frustrated. Don't know WTF is going on or how to help you.
What OS, what FCP version? What are you importing from where? Post screenshots of what you're seeing.
Could you post the screenshots please?
What OS? What version of FCP?
Was the phone in portrait mode throughout the shot?
I'm on a MacBook Pro - 2015 (Mojave). I don't know how to screen shot. When I do Command-I, I get the info window.
are you set up to do screen share?

I figured out how to get around it. I just created a "new" version with quicktime set to 1080p. Worked fine after that.
Thanks.
