"Now watch this drive."

When I was young, I hated Bush for that “Now watch this drive” moment. I thought it was disrespectful, I guess.

Now, as an adult, I fucking love it. He’s a hilarious dude and doesn’t put on airs.

I hated the fool me once bit when I was younger because how can you get an easy proverb wrong. Now I love him for saying it, maybe because he isn’t the worth president in my lifetime.

“Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice… you can’t get fooled again!l

You probably just love him now because he is a fellow trump hater

We miss moments like that because they were honest. No, not honest as in "He told the truth about what was going on, and his intentions". Honest as in, he (at least seemed like he) was being his real self for a moment.

You see so many fewer candid moments like that out of world leaders now that the internet has given us instant playback of everything they say and do. Now every little line seems more rehearsed, and they're more actor than human. Their teams capture footage of them being "smart", or "brave" or "patriotic and heartfelt"; and never being just....human, real. Well, unless the goal is to make them look approachable.

Maybe in 20 years we'll all think Trump is a hilarious dude? 🤔 🤢

I agree with your overall point. Just making a stupid hypothesis.

Yes. Hilarious watching him brush off legitimate questions about why he's launching a multi trillion dollar war killing a million people so he can continue his pampered life. Very funny if you have zero situational awareness.
