Trump’s interview Tuesday with the New York Times offered a head-spinning summary of the president-elect’s revisionism.
Of Obama, whom he had castigated and sought to undermine for years, he said, “I really liked him a lot” after a White House visit. Of Clinton, for whom his campaign prescription had been a special prosecutor and imprisonment, he said, “She went through a lot. And suffered greatly in many different ways. And I am not looking to hurt them at all.”
On the Paris agreement to reduce climate change, which he had threatened to tear up, Trump said he now has an “open mind” and sees “some connectivity” between climate change and human activity. About waterboarding, which he had advocated, he suddenly discovered Mattis’s wisdom that “a pack of cigarettes and a couple of beers” work better in getting information.
We know what’s going on here: Trump took inflammatory positions during the campaign, which appealed to people’s basest instincts and fears, because he thought they would help him get elected.

This comes after him saying that his big, beautiful wall may indeed be a fence and also saying that he'll likely retain the attractive features of Obamacare.
You've been suckered, TJ. That said, I'm not surprised that you found a vulgar blowhard appealing. He speaks your language.
