So Trump read a speech and kept his usual demeanor of antagonism and psychotic babble somewhat in check. Now comes the big push to present him as normal and legitimize him, and it will work to an extent. Many people lack critical thinking skills and will follow along, and you'll see some polls in the coming days that show more people having a favorable view of him.
But he is mentally unstable and pretty stupid. He can't keep up this facade for long, and soon he'll be back on Twitter ranting and making bogus claims, spurred on by his fragile and massive ego. He still has to pander to his base, and his base has a huge contingent made up of racist and intolerant yahoos with no grasp of government.
Stupid is as stupid does, and one measured (not to mention pandering, vague, and not particularly well written or well delivered) speech isn't going to change that. If you look at what he said, he is still adhering to all the horrible ideals and plans to wreck everything this country has worked to achieve for decades, he just paid lip service to a bunch of other corrupt politicians in an effort to help him do it.
That speech last night means absolutely nothing, don't be fooled. He is a despot and a buffoon, a national embarrassment and a traitor to most of the ideals contained in the constitution. He is dangerous and reactionary, unprepared and often missing when his hand should be on the wheel, guiding the country through hard times. He is lost and flailing, and that is what they are trying to make your forget by trotting him out to read a carefully scripted speech that could have been written by the worst hack TV writer snatched from the writing room of whatever the lamest CSI drama is these days.
Nothing at all has changed in the last 14 hours. Nothing.
