Dennis Prager said in an interview that he has been pleasantly surprised by President-elect Trump since the election.
The conservative radio talk show host supported Trump over Hillary Clinton in the general election, but opposed him in the GOP primary and was concerned about how the brash real estate developer might perform if he actually won.
Prager shared his thoughts on Trump with “Examining Politics,” a weekly podcast from the Washington Examiner.
“I can’t lie, I chopped down the cherry tree,” Prager said. “Did I expect him to turnout as, thus far, wonderful, as he has turned out? I did not.”
On Trump’s habit of tweeting, which has continued since the election, Prager said there are both positives and negatives to this unorthodox approach to running an election.
“Whether he tweets or not is very low on my list of concerns,” Prager said. “There is something good and something bad. The bad is, he may tweet something foolish, because it’s very spontaneous. The good is that it renders the New York Times less relevant.”
Also on this edition of “Examining Politics,” Jim Pethakoukis, an economic policy analyst with American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank in Washington.
