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.
Doesn’t matter that he does. He should be taken at face value. If he says things that look like he is planning to commit voter fraud, force a 3rd term, do stupid shit like tariffs. It should have been taken at face value, even if he genuinely never would have done it.
We shouldn’t be voting for people like that, hard stop. They shouldn’t even be allowed in politics.
If you can’t take them at face value, they can’t be trusted, which means he shouldn’t be in the goddamn seat he is in right now.
I’m all for nuance but I’m not a goddamn mind reader. I either have to trust what he says or not. It is pretty pointless and in fact stupid to try and decipher if someone in politics is lying about specific topics. A politician you can’t trust, is not someone who should be in power, simple as that.
And I know, I know, that eliminates about 90% of them if were being generous. Well thats the problem isn’t it?

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.
