Actor and comedian Michael Rapaport admitted Wednesday that he had been wrong about President Donald Trump.

Rapaport, who has been outspoken in his defense of Israel since October 7, spoke to Sage Steele on her podcast.

For years, Rapaport had been notorious for his attacks on Trump, whom he referred to as “pig dick.”

Now, however, on the two issues he cares most about — the economy, and Israel — Rapaport said he was wrong about Trump.

“I was wrong. ‘Cause. I talked shit about Jared [Kushner] … I was first in line talking shit about Trump. All day, every day,” Rapaport said, adding that he still didn’t like Trump’s “month” or some of his behavior.

But he admitted that Trump had been fully supportive of Israel, and had drained Iran’s ability to finance terror.

“I was wrong about Israel, and I was wrong about economy stuff.”

He also said that he had been “ill-informed” about President Donald Trump’s policy on Israel, and on how he “turned the screws on Iran.”

Rapaport “unendorsed” President Joe Biden in May and had said in February that voting for Donald Trump was “on the table.” He traveled to Israel in December to perform on television and show solidarity with Israelis against terror.
