I'm glad he addressed this... I'm also a big Peter Thiel fan, but struggling to understand how he can possibly support Trump. I think there is an important distinction between "contrarian and right" and "contrarian and wrong", which supporting Trump doesn't seem to acknowledge.
And I wondered what Thiel's peers thought of his support, so this clarified it a bit for me.
But I also agree that the anti-Trump crowd should recognize that people in this country are angry, and Trump says what they want to say. Trump's not the solution but he's calling out the problems in a way that resonates with people.
(Of course, even if he had the right solutions, to me it seems clear he wouldn't be able to execute... but that's a political argument.)
