Stop. Just stop.

As the State of the Union Address approaches, you are going to see a lot of articles like this. It is getting strangely familiar. At every important juncture in Donald Trump's political career we have seen this speculation.
Will Donald Trump pivot,,,, become Presidential,,,,,Grow,,,,, bring us together,,,,,,?

In short, when can we expect Donald Trump to stop being Donald Trump?

The answer is,,,,,, NEVER. Grow up, media. It doesn't matter what speech Trump delivers. It's all a show.
We know what the Trump Presidency is about. We see it every day, with every executive order, every Tweet.
You know, I expect the media to be less gullible than me.


Trump’s first State of the Union: Can a divisive president flip the script?

By Karen Tumulty and Philip Rucker January 27 at 8:08 PM 

President Trump will deliver his first State of the Union address Tuesday at a juncture of opportunity and peril for his presidency, and his anxious allies hope he will show he has the ability to do something he has not done before: bring the country together.

White House officials have offered few details of what Trump will say other than that he will take credit for a healthier economy and tie its continued growth to the Republicans’ new tax plan, as well as argue his case on immigration, trade, infrastructure and national security.

In tone, they say, it will not be like the fiery populist inaugural address, in which Trump offered a dark picture of “American carnage.” A senior administration official who has been involved in the drafting promised “a speech that resonates with our American values and unites us with patriotism.”

With its bumper-sticker-ready theme of “building a safe, strong and proud America,” the address is expected to resemble the vision of a “renewal of the American spirit” that Trump offered in his well-received speech to a joint session of Congress last February. It also will come on the heels of the pragmatic, upbeat speech he delivered Friday to a skeptical audience at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

You can read from a script, but you cannot erase all that has come before !
