Are You Buying "New and Improved" Trump?

Looks like they took some of the orange out of his hair.
Maybe gave Trump a handful of Xanax.
Got him to read a teleprompter.
And got him to use the word "regret".

And this is supposed to make me forget the Donald Trump I've I've known for year?
The Birther, the misogynist, the racist, the serial liar, the insulter of POW's, Gold star families, Muslims,,,,,,,,et al?

Count me out.
I guess we will see how long he can keep this new act up, and how many of The People he can fool.

As an aside, I just love watching the right wing commentators gushing over Donald reading a teleprompter like the proud parents of a five year old who has just earned to tie his shoes. The same folks who, of course ridiculed the President for using a teleprompter in years past.
Go figure. 





Donald Trump Steps Out of Character to Voice Unexplained Regrets



CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Donald J. Trump on Thursday expressed regret for making statements that have “caused personal pain,” a rare display of contrition that followed the shake-up of his campaign’s leadership this week.

“Sometimes, in the heat of debate and speaking on a multitude of issues, you don’t choose the right words or you say the wrong thing,” Mr. Trump said. “I have done that. And believe it or not, I regret it.”

The crowd gathered at a convention center here responded by chanting Mr. Trump’s name, and he gave them a thumbs-up.

“And I do regret it, particularly where it may have caused personal pain,” Mr. Trump added. “Too much is at stake for us to be consumed with these issues.”

Mr. Trump’s statement of regret, in a prepared speech in which he spoke of a “New American Future,” seemed to be a step toward trying to recover from a number of public quarrels and other episodes that have damaged his campaign, including a dispute with the family of an American Muslim soldier who was killed in Iraq.

But in his speech, which he read off a teleprompter, he did not specify what he regretted, offer specific apologies or linger on the subject. In his campaign, Mr. Trump has at times sounded restrained and on-message, only to quickly revert to his more pugilistic nature.

Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee, had previously warned about the prospect of Mr. Trump trying to change his ways, concerned that voters who had been turned off by his inflammatory comments on a variety of subjects might look favorably on any tempering of Mr. Trump’s tone.

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

Did you notice all the regrets but not one apology to anyone or for anything said.  What a phony and no, I do not expect any positive changes out of him.

Umm....didn't the people who are supporting Trump take Obama to task for using a teleprompter?

Geeze.  Fickle or what?


If you make yourself miserable trying to make others happy that means everyone is miserable.

No.

I'm not buying the snake oil that the double talking sideshow barker and his merry-go-round campaign staff are trying to sell.

Leopards don't necessarily change their spots.  They just shift them around.

Have you noticed Trump using the teleprompter--how he precisely moves to one side and then the other--just like some one told him to do?  Nothing discreet about this guy. c
