My opinion is evolving by the hour. I know this, though - they've already disappeared the muslim ban.

So this is a good sign. This means he's open to social pressures.

I would argue that he's more open to social pressures than anyone that has ever held the office... but only time will tell.

I would further argue that it is this openness to social pressures that makes people conflate 3am tweetstorms with failures of judgement.

I just got done listening to an NPR bit about him and taxes, where after it was explained to him that his original tax plan would involve 12 trillion in tax cuts, he revised it and walked that number back to 4-6 trillion in tax cuts depending on how the wind blows. Anecdotal, but it's something else that shows he might be open to advice.

He wants to be remembered positively.
