Maybe you're willing to tolerate a lot of bigotry from Donald Trump if you say, just change things, just change things.

Civility is the natural state for people who know how limited their own individual powers are and know, too, that they need the conversation.

Donald Trump's being authentic to what he ran on and what got elected.

The effectiveness of a group of people is not determined by their IQ but by how well they communicate.

Friendship allows you to see your own life but with a second sympathetic self.

I, personally, think Trump improved pretty dramatically and certainly changed pretty dramatically over the last hundred days. He's less of the populist. He's more of the corporatist. He's less incompetent. He's trying to at least turn toward people who can put a decision-making process. And he's trying to adjust to the job. And so whatever one thinks of him, he is certainly a learning creature.

You have a country that is 20 percent liberal, 40 percent conservative. You have a country where maybe 22 percent have faith in government. If you're a liberal, it's just going to be tough. And you should just expect that. And it's tough for people on the right, too, because they don't get what they want either if you're, say, a libertarian. So, you have got the country sort of against you. And, nevertheless, you have a president.
