Opinion: Donald Trump’s New Mr. Nice Guy Act Doesn’t Even Last a Day
Well that didn't last long.
Throughout Sunday and overnight into Monday morning one of the most radical political transformations in US history was being written. Old Trump–the nasty, malevolent, political operative who is bent on vengeance and stealing elections–was no more. Political insiders, commentators and writers were being briefed that, after the shooting and his miraculous escape on Saturday, a new man had risen.
He even planned to rip up his RNC script and instead of plans to attack Biden (and writing what he called a 'humdinger') he would instead present a moderate, unifying figure that was here to heal America's divisive wounds. “Honestly, it’s going to be a whole different speech now. It is a chance to bring the country together. I was given that chance”, declared Trump. Cometh the hour, cometh the man.
