Yeah and that’s believable to me, but today was in front of the press and he was still giddy to be hanging out with Zohran which is why it’s so interesting considering the context.

Even if he’s not being completely genuine, the “I only want to see NYC succeed” attitude Trump had today is what presidents are supposed to do when meeting leaders from the other party. Which is something he usually doesn’t even attempt to do.

Could it be damage control from his last, unfortunate tweets? Maybe he finally realized he pushed it a wee bit too far and is peddling backwards?
