Trump camp says persona is 'an act' as it woos GOP insiders

[Phantasmal]

Exactly. It's a kind of pivot


What will be interesting to watch is such a big part of Trump's appeal is his 'fvck it' attitude and willingness to say anything. If he tries to turn himself into a more toned down 'regular' politician will he lose any appeal with his base?

Yes

Is any pivot by any politician genuine lol? They're all players so some extent.

I haven't heard any other pol having to explain his psyche to people he's trying to persuade. "This isn't the real me. The real me will be much kinder and more accommodating when I'm in the Oval Office."

Yeah sure.

I love it when Trumps says stuff like, "When the time comes, I'm going to act so Presidential that it will make your head spin."

You either are Presidential, or you're not. Trump is a con man.

... and to paraphrase P.T. Barnum ; "there is a Trumptard born every minute".
