“Look, let me tell you this right now, I’m sold on Trump. In fact, I’ll say this. I think he’s got a good shot at going down in history as one of our best presidents ever,” Langone said.
“That is a real turnaround because you didn’t want to vote for him,” the show’s host pointed out.
“And I told you the reason but I wanna tell you, I’m a believer. What I’m seeing happening is absolutely nothing short of a great thing. And there’s a beat, people are walking with more bounce in their [step]. It’s all around.”
Later, Langone said “when you make a mistake, you admit it.”
X users celebrated the founder’s ability to change his mind in the face of the economic evidence:
That’s a take we need more of. “When you made a mistake admit it.”

He is the greatest president of our generation, period. He sacrificed so much to help our country. People go into office to obtain power and money – he already had it! He risked it all for our country.

At this point, I cannot foresee another president having the same legacy as President trump. He rewrote the rules, placed America first and made it ok to be patriots again.
