55 minutes into his address to congress, and for the first time he is,
in my opinion, coming across as not only sane but presidential. Not sure what he's on, but make sure he has an uninterupted supply!!!! He has stayed on topic without any "raving" and divisiveness. Mabee I've misjudged the man - Let's hope so. We'll see. |

After his speech last night it seems he is using his brains to fit in a little better with the mainstream and unstoppable American political system. He may be learning that he is little more than an ant in the powerful juggernaut. I would not put much faith in one speech. Trump has done it before. After he gave his speech at the convention, most people said it was the best so far, that he had turned a corner and would now act differently. The very next morning, after the convention, Trump called a news conference and instead of basking in the glow of receiving the nomination and his good speech, he used the news conference to attack Ted Cruz, including bringing up the Kennedy assassination BS again. Stay tuned, I have confidence in Trump, he has yet to disappoint. |
