I’m beginning to wonder (hope?) whether the media might be turning Trump’s “I was against going into Iraq, before I was for it” bullshit into the equivalent of their bottomless fascination with Hillary Clinton’s emails. If so, it would be a most fitting punishment for Hair Fuhrer, since the whole kerfuffle is very much his own fault. He had very little reason to bloviate about his superior predictive foreign-policy skills in the first place; he was lying when he first brought up the topic; he could’ve ended the whole discussion early by acknowledging that he’d made a mistake; and he can’t stop bringing it up, even though it’s clear even to him that nobody believes him and every reiteration makes him look worse!
