Actor Michael Rapaport says he has stopped insulting former President Donald Trump and is “owning up” to getting Trump wrong after years of criticizing him. Multiple reports describe Rapaport explaining that a major shift in his thinking comes from the Hamas hostage crisis, which he says influenced how he judges Trump’s approach to international events. Rapaport characterizes his earlier stance as overly negative and says he has reconsidered his assessment of Trump based on subsequent developments tied to the hostage situation. The coverage portrays Rapaport’s remarks as a personal reassessment rather than a formal political endorsement, and it emphasizes that he now presents his earlier criticism as mistaken. Across the accounts, the core details are that Rapaport publicly acknowledges he misjudged Trump, links his changed perspective to the hostage crisis, and says he has moved away from past public criticism of the president. The reports do not indicate a specific policy change or new role for Rapaport, focusing instead on his statement about changing viewpoints.
