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.

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.

it's hard to really even credit him with "Trump is acting different this time around" no he's not, he wanted to do all this kind of shit the first time but there were adults in the room to stop him!!! WHERE ARE THEY ALL NOW?!?!?

I honestly didn't think Trump was stupid enough to put all those tariffs in place. I thought it was a bargaining tool and that he wouldn't really do it. Lots of people on the right and left never thought he would go this hard so I kinda get it.
