Has Trump been out of the picture for the last few days?

The last I heard of him was his Tweet alleging that the Dallas attack was part of a "coordinated" <something>. Maybe his would-be handlers managed to keep him quiet.???

antisemitic tweet against Hillary. Possibly deluding him into thinking he's posting to the web when he's not.

I did see him, what, yesterday, day before, sitting behind a desk stiltedly reading a prepared statement about the civil unrest in his best presidential manner. He sounded as if they'd put his brain in a tight-laced corset.

More seriously, I think both he and Hillary are letting the country's emotional turmoil calm down a little. I'm sure he's dying to tweet and his guys are sitting on him hard. He'll get loose tomorrow.
