guys, we have been here before. he delivers a normalish speech, media declares he's presidential

a few days later his real self emerges, and he's back to being a raging incompetent malicious white nationalist.

I'm not saying that criticism of the media is not undeserved or necessary, i'm just saying don't get overly stressed over this.

the real DJT will emerge within a week.

Van Jones got suckered. So did Tweety. From the reports around the net, they were the TWO media stars who gave Trumpy the legitimacy of a saint. It's amazing how powerful their musings have become. Out of 330 million people, TWO media stars appear to have changed the zeitgeist. Is there a media oligarchy? Does the air cool off at night?

to the extent you can fathom them out of the bullshit he spews.

Fact is, it was a fresh coat of paint on a rundown whorehouse.

He didn't even mention that so-called "path to citizenship" that he spoke about in the meeting with the news anchors yesterday. Instead, he went with VOICE to target even more immigrants.

He can't help himself, though. He'll tweet shit again and that will be that.

Take a little bit of time and make a few tweets, or write a letter, to someone like Van Jones who you saw make an ass of themselves, them move on. Real change happens with real work, not being angry at media pundits that people don't actually listen to. While Van Jones is a celebrity for his position, I'd be shocked if more than a couple of my family members had ever heard of him, much less actually be influenced by anything he says

Koko the gorilla could have signed it out.
Now they think he's all "presidential".

The media still desperately wants this to be a normal presidency. Twirler will bask in the glow for a bit then be back.
