As President Joe Biden's America and his health deteriorate, some Democrats are beginning to jump ship before the sequel to Titanic happens.
Billionaire and long-time Democratic voter Chamath Palihapitiya admitted he was wrong about former President Trump.
Once a full-fledged Leftist, Palihapitiya recognized the unbelievable work Trump did when he was in office.
"What those guys did was pretty incredible in hindsight," Palihapitiya said during an "All-In" podcast episode.
Three years into Biden's term, the Democrat confessed that Trump did "really great work" on several issues compared to Biden, such as the border, economy, and crime.
"I voted for Hillary Clinton, I voted for Joe Biden. But this is an honest assessment. [Trump] did, for the things that he was supposed to do, a good job. And for where every other president found a way to make our situation a little bit worse, specifically around wars, he did not do that. And that's a huge accomplishment that needs to be acknowledged," he continued.

Palihapitiya said he now describes himself as "left homeless" and "definitely in the center but probably leaning increasingly right."
Making it clear that he is "no fan of Trump," Palihapitiya voiced his appreciation for the former president's administration.
"So much of the work that happened in that administration turns out to have been right," he added, citing the U.S.- Mexico border wall and his record on war, such as in the Middle East as examples.
He mentioned the successes of Trump's foreign policies that prevented regional wars and his favored economic policies as reasons why he would consider voting for the 45th president again in 2024.
"Issuing long-term debt to refinance when rates were at zero. We didn't like the messenger, so we killed the message," he said. "Peace in the Middle East. We didn't like the messenger, so we killed the message. When are we gonna stop shooting ourselves in the foot? When are we going to actually take the time to look past who was saying things and actually listen to them word for word."
