For example, I’m on the left and liberal side of the political spectrum, so the good parts of Trump are —
1. He’s a “big texture” guy, so he’s more likely to go big on something like pardons on federal marijuana laws.
2. another hit on tariffs might get China more well-behaved on trade. It’s risky, but it might work,
3. if Trump wins in November, Democrats will do better in the 2026 mid-term elections.

Okay, that last one is self-serving, so for another one —
President Trump started to withdraw U.S. soldiers from Syria around 2018. The Joint Chiefs said, Oh, No, Mr. President, you don’t want to do that, and Trump listened. This may not sound like much, but Presidents both Republican and Democratic struggled to publicly change their mind regarding the Vietnam War.
In addition, Trump has the phrase “people are learning,” which means he’s learning. But it’s still a way to learn from facts and feedback, which often is missing in both politics and life.
