22. Yes, he seemed so

.....valuable to the causes he cares about. So this is a real loss.

Did he forget what 45 had done and said just last week? The baiting of Muslims? The treatment of dreamers? The harm to the idea of America that 45's racism does? And that cabinet? And that White Supramicist advisor in the Oval Office?

Jones actually fell for that long clapping. Didn't see how deeply cynical and manipulative it was on 45's part.

Jones has lost all credibility. Any "rehabilitation" of 45, based on one reading of a tele-prompted speech, is unforgivable.
