I was hoping the tariffs would be good, but I certainly expected it to be a disaster otherwise.

In retrospect, it was just really bad, and his tariffs were a ham-fisted turd. He saved the demolition of the country for his second term, after he let Stephen Miller run things and got rid of anyone who was telling him no.

It’s fine. He had potential, and he really did move fast and break things to make Tesla what it was. I don’t think EVs would be where they are today without him.

The pedophile thing really was the turning point. It was possible to see before then, but it wasn’t even the event itself that did it. He just changed fast around that time period. Whether his views changed or he just started revealing and acting on them much more is debatable.

Maybe just young, because the coverage up to that point was hard to avoid.

He was probably already racist, but it really does seem like the drugs helped make him a Nazi.

It’s probably a combination of the people feeding him drugs and him drifting towards manipulators instead of people who might tell him no.
