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.
To be fair tons of people on the left were also saying there's no way Trump would do this, it's all just a distraction, he'll back down before they go into effect, etc. There are a lot of people in denial in this country and it isn't just conservatives.
But yeah the opportunity to present himself as anything honorable kind of kills it for me.

Admitting he was wrong counts for something, though.
