    When you receive information that proves you wrong you can do 1 of 2 things. You can admit you were wrong, or you can double down and twist the situation to avoid admitting it. “This is actually what I thought would happen and I wanted this”. I actually think its cowardly. It takes courage to stand up and admit they were wrong.

      Not if you haven’t actually changed your mind. If you believe it’s at your expense but actually better for the country in the long term. Again, I don’t think he’s right but he may think he is.

        Otherwise he will become depressed and realize how stupid he is
