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.
Trump 2.0 IS very different. Even myself, who predicted a trump driven recession and has been preparing for it for a few months, believed that Trump couldn't fuck it up in 6 months. The first term he tested the waters, this term he is full blown out of control.
100% correct. There were adults in the room that tried keeping him under control. Now he has nothing but sycophants catering to his every whim and playing backup music while Nero watched Rome burn.

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.
