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.
