Last week, Fetterman became the first sitting congressional Democrat to announce his intention to meet with Trump since he was elected in November. And now, reporting from the Washington Examiner suggests the Democrat made quite the impression.

“It was a totally fascinating meeting. He’s a fascinating man, and his wife is lovely. They were both up, and I couldn’t be more impressed,” Trump told the outlet, noting that the trio spent roughly an hour together. “He’s a commonsense person. He’s not liberal or conservative. He’s just a commonsense person, which is beautiful.”

While many parts of that statement are eyebrow-raising, Trump’s suggestion that Fetterman can be uniquely nonpartisan is a strange one. After all, Fetterman was a self-described progressive for years before abandoning the title and taking positions more aligned with conservatives.
