You've written several books on Donald Trump. You probably understand him pretty well by now, I'm sure.
00:06
Why do you think he now supports this program, despite harshly criticizing it in the past?
00:12
And do you think this is down to Elon Musk?
00:15
Because we do know now that they've sort of got a bromance going on.
00:19
Well, I've covered Donald for 36 years. In fact, I wrote about him becoming president in 1988.
00:27
And one of the key lessons to understand about Donald is that there are no underlying principles from which he operates.
00:35
He's very mercurial. In fact, it's not unusual for Donald to say something,
00:40
say the opposite within a minute, and then deny that he made the original comment.
00:46
So Donald is a person who is at heart a con artist.
