No, 55 minutes without imbecility does not mean Dumpie has transformed

That immigration meeting Orange Julius Caesar had with both parties today had some members of the media getting the vapors at his sane, sober leadership.

Bullshit. This phony is a phony. And a stupid grifter. Just because he plays nice nice and doesn't foam at the mouth or tweet frantically for an hour doesn't mean he's suddenly become majestic. He's still the same Dumpster and tomorrow morning there will be something else awful and insulting.

His mental facilities have nothing to do with it. He's hateful, completely self-centered, wants revenge on the world and is profoundly stupid.

"I think my positions are going to be what the people in this room come up with," Trump said during a Cabinet Room meeting with a bipartisan group of nearly two dozen lawmakers, adding, "I am very much reliant upon the people in this room."

Ah yes, the I'll do whatever you tell me. That's leadership! The dude has no plan for this country. None.

But that doesn't alter the fact that he was a serial killer. Twitler keeping his shit together for a whole 55 minutes doesn't change anything. That it is even being commented on speaks volumes. The bar gets set lower every effing day.

Just because the Dumpster can emerge from his hateful fog and seem reasonable for a limited period of time (and probably scripted or medicated) means nothing. Classic sociopath behavior.

were thrown under the bus so trump could show that he could act sane. This shit is funny. Too bad America is being thrown under the bus by the GOP.

is that the media is 100% self centered. It's all about whether THEY (members of the media) feel they were treated well in any particular moment. That's it. And all Trump did was put his acting skills to work--the "CEO leading the boardroom" is his favorite act.... but when you listen closely, everything that comes out his mouth is uninformed bullshit.

Maybe had a facial and was on his best behavior at the mic reading his script in soft tones. Meh.

Wolff's book details his almost manic behaviors. So he needed to put forth a little bit of quiet theater to cast doubt on who we know him to be. The man behind the wacky, unpresidential tweets and the generally odious, vindictive yet needy personality.
