I'm almost embarrassed to repeat the Maya Angelou quote, again...

..."When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time"

Trump is consistent. He's a lot of things, but consistent tops the list, and that observation isn't offered in the spirit of praise.

This time, he stopped short of the "suckers and losers" commentary, but I'd say the "hey, shit happens" response was offered in the same spirit.
