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.
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.
In the spirits of taking things at face value, I believe “Trump 2.0 is different” is the who could’ve seen it coming implication. He’s admitting to being wrong and he’s saying the reason he was wrong is bc he was basing his opinion on the Trump he thought he knew. But Trump 2.0 is different. A change he obviously did not see coming or he wouldn’t have held such an incorrect belief.
