Thomas Markle flat out said he opened the conversation saying he was upset about Trump and all Harry said was that neutral statement but then said he thinks Harry probably has changed his mind since then. He is ridiculous. He is also the one who brought politics into the conversation. It seemed very deliberate with his "That is his, not mine" comment.
Piers on This Morning spoke of how Thomas Markle contacted them to tell his side of the story, ala TMZ. So he is consistently seeking of the media despite knowing how much Meghan and Harry don't want him to. He is more concerned about how the public views him than his relationship with his child.
I haven't watched the interview in whole it, but did he say Harry's probably changed his mind since or it is Tom Marke's personal hope that he has because of his own views? Because the latter is how I read it based on other reports I've seen.
And yes, the inability to understand when things are bigger than just yourself. I was thinking on my way into work today about the concept of not accepting something as is if you don't agree with it, especially when it is from those with power. It's a very American trait (I'm aware it exists in other cultures as well, but it's particularly strong here), and it's a very good trait at times. However, like anything else, it can have consequences that can both be good and bad. When you use it to fight for something that you believe is wrong and for the greater good or even when it's your personal good, which was consistent with him encouraging Meghan to stick up for what she believed in when she was younger. However, you have to evaluate if your personal good is actually your personal good and if you are hurting someone close to you in the process. That's what he seems to have trouble with.
