The Observer discusses Peter Mandelson's change of stance on Donald Trump, acknowledging his past criticism while highlighting the evolving political landscape and the need for diplomacy in international relations.
The Observer view on Peter Mandelson ’s U-turn on Donald Trump : it’s easy to mock, but that’s diplomacyIt’s not often politicians admit to a change of heart. Perhaps it’s a trend that could – and should – catch on, Julian Barnes writes: “We always believe changing our mind is an improvement, bringing a greater truthfulness to our dealings with the world and other people. It puts an end to vacillation, uncertainty, weak-mindedness. It seems to make us stronger and more mature.
No doubt some will snort mockingly at what they see as sycophantic backtracking but “when the facts change”, as John Maynard Keynes is alleged to have said, “I change my mind. What do you do?” Although the great economist probably never uttered those words, Mandelson should nonetheless take comfort in them.. A second, but no less consequential shift in real-world circumstance, is that Trump is once again the American president, a situation that looked highly unlikely six years ago.
