A couple of things . One was that part of Trump ' s appeal was that he spoke his mind or would tell it like it is or more simply put , he was honest in a way that politician ' s are unwilling to be . Another thing is that most politicians are willing to say I thought X then , but new evidence has been presented to me , so I now think Y . A simple example of this might be Obama changing positions from gay couples having civil unions to being in favor of gay marriage . Trump is different here , however , since he just flatly denies things that are on the record e . g . calling climate change a hoax , being in favor of the Iraq War . It ' s hard to overstate how important the latter is . <| sep |> But then you ' re not alone . Therefor you ' re alone . But then you ' re not alone . fk
