That follow-up barely counts for anything when it's used as an opportunity to humblebrag ("I'm a man on honor") and backtrack ("well ackshually Trump 2.0 is very different, other than that I was totally right, you know! ☝️🤓"). Nowadays I am finding it increasingly difficult to be forgiving of people who believe, trust, and worship Trump, especially after the decades of Trump proving himself to be an evil charlatan.

Exactly right. He basically said "I was wrong because Trump is acting different now, who could have seen it coming?"

When in reality he was wrong because he's stupid and it was easy to see this coming.

I hate Trump just as much as everyone else, but I like to take these things at face value. He’s not implying “who could have seen it coming?” He admits he was wrong, simple as that.

I’m with you. I read that as “I did not take it seriously enough that he was vindictive this time around” which is absolutely fair and legit.

It's not fair because he was vindictive as hell the first time around. Trump isn't different, they're just finally seeing a very small amount of what he's actually doing and realizing it's crazy.

It's not fair though, is it? Trump's main political stance has always been vengeance and punishment of people he doesn't like. That's like one of the main reasons some people love him to the point of religious fervour.
