Everybody likes a winner

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.

You've been suckered, TJ. That said, I'm not surprised that you found a vulgar blowhard appealing.

I've been suckered?

I'm the one who said Trump is not nearly the Ogre he's been made out to be.

So he's backing off on prosecuting Clinton, climate change, and waterboarding. All good things. So whose been suckered? It ain't me Skippy.
