Silicon Valley venture capital investor Chamath Palihapitiya, who voted for Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, is changing his tune about Donald Trump.
American Wire has more:
“For where every other president found a way to frankly make our situation a little bit worse, specifically around wars, he did not do that. And that is a huge accomplishment that needs to be acknowledged,” he said Monday on the “All-In Podcast” he cohosts.
“As a Democrat, who has been left homeless, who is now definitely in the center, but probably leaning increasingly right, I’m left yet again with an appreciation, despite the messenger of the message, of the Trump administration, because what those guys did, was pretty incredible,” Palihapitiya observed.
“These Abraham Accords, the accords with Israel and the GCC, the almost accord between Israel and Saudi, to really be able to like find a long-lasting peace is just a real example for the world. And those guys did a lot of really great work,” Palihapitiya said.
“This is a moment when you have to start to re-underwrite, is one’s ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ causing more damage than anything President Trump could have done? And I think the answer is yes, because it is now causing us to not see that good work, and then embrace and extend it,” he added. “So much of the work that happened in that administration turned out to have been right, and that is what is so frustrating for me.”
“The work on the border wall, we didn’t like the messenger, so, we killed the message. Turned out it was right,” Palihapitiya noted. “Issuing long-term debt to refinance when rates were at zero. We didn’t like the messenger, so we killed the message. A structural peace deal in the Middle East. We didn’t like the messenger, so we killed the message. When are we going to stop shooting ourselves in the foot? When are we going to actually take the time to look past who was saying things and actually listen to them word for word?”
When will they disclose Billy Boy’s Clinton and Hillary’s tax return? I will answer the question. Never.
Trump is a private citizen. When are they going to disclose Obama’s tax return? I will answer the
question. Never.
This list can go on for a lot of Democrats. Will their tax returns be disclosed? I will answer the question.
Never.
Isn’t Nancy Polosi a private citizen? When will her tax returns be disclosed? I will answer the
question. Never.
WHY????????They are liberal Democrats. Despite what they say, they are above the law.

Hope more eyes are opened to the good that Trump did as president and will do again as president. I will welcome another 4 years of Trump in charge again. Personally I would like to see Sara Palin as VP but realize that is Trump’s choice not mine. He needs someone he can work with freely and positively.
ENEMIES OF TRUMP ARE ENEMIES OF ALL AMERICANS AND HUMANITY. ENEMIES OF AMERICA ARE DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN TRAITORS. TREASON IS EXECUTABLE BY DEATH. ALL ENEMIES OF HUMANITY MUST PAY.
Wow. What a thought. Listen to the message. Evaluate it. Check the results. Sounds like the scientific method. Then do the stuff that works, discard the stuff that does not work. Looks like Trump has a strong future, if we don’t “shoot ourselves in the foot” again.
And a dem awakens!
