What is happening?
In a particularly notable moment, the president said that “some of his ideas are really the same ideas that I have.” At another point, he added that “we agree on a lot more than I would have thought. I want him to do a great job, and we’ll help him do a great job.”
I’m still like 99% sure Trump doesn’t know what “fascist” or “socialist” mean and he thinks other leaders will understand that it’s Just Television either way. So this doesn’t really mean much one way or another to him, ideologically.
