Cenk Uygur, founder of the left-wing media outlet The Young Turks, said Friday that he is “optimistic” as President-elect Donald Trump gears up for his second term in office.
Uygur, previously extremely critical of Trump, shared his realization that the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement is not his “mortal enemy” like he once believed. He identified the political establishment as his true foe in a series of posts on social media.
I’ve been trying to figure out why I’m more optimistic now than I was before the election, even though I was so against the guy who won. I know now. MAGA is not my mortal enemy (and neither is the extreme left). My mortal enemy is the establishment. And they have been defeated!
