“I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he’s America’s Hitler. How’s that for discouraging?”

Is what he texted to an old friend from college. Obviously, he decided that Trump is a useful, cynical asshole like Nixon and has acted accordingly.

Making Vance a cynical asshole as well, but we all knew that.
