I haven't been giving him a by since the 80s, so I don't see any reason to stop just because he got elected president. He is who he's always been. Back then, I even agreed with some of his views, since he held a series of liberal positions. He may have changed his mind since then, but he hasn't changed who he is....and it's hard to say whether or not he's changed his mind. As the Economist put it, he's capable of holding every possible position on an issue simultaneously.
