President Trump's top political advisers, in a private meeting last week, said their boss needs to add more hopeful, optimistic and unifying messages to balance his harsh law-and-order rhetoric.
(snip)
"He has to tone down the most incendiary rhetoric, talk about law and order in the context of riots, and at the same time say the country's united that what happened to George Floyd can never happen again," a second adviser familiar with the internal discussion said.
"He's starting to hear from a lot of people, political people, who are saying, ‘Simmer down. ... You are not helping the situation by talking about only sending the military in.’
It’s “the pivot” all over again. He’s never been able to do it before, there’s no reason he can do it now.
The “let Trump be Trump” train let the station four years ago. He’s not capable of reining in his gut instincts and allowing himself to be told what to do by some image manager.
They really expect us to believe people are telling Trump to “simmer down” right now. Lol. Who is telling him that?
