Donald Trump and his candidness? Now, that’s a rare sight! The former president, known for his unyielding belief in his own infallibility, made a shocking admission during an interview with the fabulous Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures.” The question that broke the camel’s back? Bartiromo asked Trump if there was anything he would do differently in his time as president. Brace yourselves, folks, because he actually owned up to some mistakes!
Trump Admits Appointing FBI Director Wray a 'Mistake'

But let’s not get too carried away here. Trump still firmly clings to his delusions of a victorious 2020 election. He confidently proclaims that he has never asked for forgiveness from God because, in his mind, he has never done anything wrong. Oh, Donald, what a humble spirit you have!
Nevertheless, during this moment of uncharacteristic reflection, Trump mentioned a few names that he wouldn’t have chosen for certain positions. Bill Barr, Jeff Sessions, and Mark Esper were among the unlucky few who received the not-so-glowing endorsement from the former president. Weak, pathetic, and incompetent were the adjectives of choice for these individuals. Ouch, that stings!
Of course, Bartiromo grilled Trump about why he had appointed these folks if he didn’t think highly of them. Trump’s response? Sometimes, you just don’t know what you’re getting yourself into! He painted a picture of his transition from New York to the presidency, riding down Pennsylvania Avenue with his esteemed first lady by his side, surrounded by motorcycles and armies. His realization that he was in a whole new world seemed to catch him off guard. You can almost feel the disbelief in his voice as he exclaims, “This is wild, right?”
But fear not, dear conservatives! Trump assured us that he knows people now better than anyone in history. The good ones, the bad ones, the dumb ones, and the smart ones – he’s got ’em all figured out. He may not have known them back when he was making those questionable appointments, but he’s all set now. Hallelujah!
Naturally, Bartiromo couldn’t resist pulling out the big guns. She boldly claimed that Trump hadn’t fulfilled his promise of draining the swamp, something he had passionately advocated for during his campaign. But wait, folks, hold your horses! Trump was quick to defend himself. He listed his firing of James Comey – oh, what a glorious moment that was – as evidence of his swamp-draining prowess. He even suggested that if he hadn’t taken that decisive action, he might not have survived his entire term. A real plot twist, wouldn’t you say?
In the end, Trump’s admission of some mistakes and his defense of his swamp-draining abilities leave us with mixed feelings. It’s refreshing to see him acknowledge his missteps, even if it’s only a select few. But let’s not forget the grandiosity that still lingers in his words. The magnanimous Donald Trump has spoken, and he wants us to know that, despite everything, he knows people like no one else. It’s a spectacle you just can’t miss, folks!
