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 don’t see how you can say that, considering that Trump said that this is exactly what he was going to do during his re-election campaign. GP chose to ignore/dismiss Trump’s actual campaign promises, and call anyone who took Trump at his word, “fairly stupid liberals.” I mean, talk about a disingenuous argument on his part…

Trump said a million different insane things. it was overwhelming so people grabbed onto the 5-6 things they cared the most about, either because they wanted or feared them.

Yeah, or chose to ignore the ones that were inconvenient for their worldview, or made it morally/ethically/legally difficult to support him.

Yeah Trump always sticks to his campaign promises/rhetoric . That’s why Hillary Clinton is sitting in a jail cell and Mexico paid for our border wall that was finished in 2017. And Russia and Ukraine had a ceasefire on Trump’s first day this term and that war is now over.

You can’t possibly be serious 😂😂

Hmmmmm….. Trump didn’t do the things he couldn’t do. But he did do the things he could. You can’t be serious.

Well, if those “major” unfulfilled promises are the things you want to judge Trump’s reliability on, be my guest. BTW, many of those items he missed on his first go-around he’s ticking off right now.

The using the US armed forces against Americans part of the program will certainly be exciting.

I’m talking about the fact that he didn’t throw Hillary Clinton in jail, nor did he get Mexico to pay for the wall, which were the two examples that the other poster used to bolster their argument that Trump doesn’t do what he says he going to do.

He doesn't always lie. He said he was going to bring people together. I really didn't think he would do it, but damn, he's actually living up to his promise.

Your defense is that people should be excused for supporting him and talking shit about those who took his threats seriously, because he didn't do some of them (yet)? That's more of a reason to not support him. He's plainly a liar and a conman, and because he's unpredictable, it makes sense to oppose all of his shit because who knows what whack-a-mole he's playing with his brain cells and what he'll decide to do on a fucking whim. All of his threats are credible because he's a lying rule-breaking sack of shit.

Where am I saying that people should be excused for supporting him?
