I am fighting for these forgotten Americans. The poverty, the unemployment, theįailing schools, the jobs moving to other countries. These are the forgotten men and women in our society, and they areĪngry at so much on so many levels. Trump alluded again to the “silent majority” making a comeback, but this time, there was a new flourish: For instance, he still promised that if elected, “chaos and violence on our streets” and the attacks on law enforcement “will end - and it will end very quickly” but did not elaborate. Indeed, Trump’s speech was more organized, but he hasn’t dropped the grand, vague promises that are his trademark. His new campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, said earlier in the day that the shift is about “pivoting stylistically,” not on substance. This was the first speech Trump delivered since his campaign shake-up earlier this week. I speak the truth for all of you, and for everyone in this country who doesn’t have a voice. Too much is at stake for us to be consumed with these issues.īut one thing I can promise you is this: I will always tell you the truth.

Trump said:Īs you know, I am not a politician. But it’s unclear what he feels bad about. Trump did say he has “regret” for having “caused personal pain,” which is surprising coming from a man who has repeatedly insisted that he has no remorse for insulting Senator John McCain, a disabled reporter, the parents of a dead war hero, and many others. Politico called it one of the “most comprehensive, on-message rationales for his candidacy to date,” and proclaimed that Trump had finally pivoted, albeit “107 days late.” Then, at a rally in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Thursday night, Trump read from a teleprompter for the third time this week and declared for the first time that he has some regrets. If you start pivoting, you’re not being honest with people.” Just three days ago, Donald Trump told a CBS affiliate in Wisconsin, “I don’t want to change … I don’t want to pivot.
