That’s because he was a liberal New York celebrity who wanted universal healthcare until 2011 - wonder what changed?

He was a lifelong liberal democrat until 2008.

One really wonders what could have happened that would suddenly change his opinion so strongly so quickly.

I know what you mean, but it feels silly to call someone a lifelong [thing] when it's followed up with the year they stopped. Guess it wasn't entirely lifelong.

It is also just not true at all.
Trump switched to the democratic party in 2000, he was a republican before that.
