Seriously, if this is true, then great.

But, sadly, I suspect it will be another failed promise.

Trump doesn't get -- and will never get or admit to getting -- that he had a window to do the right things, and he missed it because of his personal failings.

The ball is rolling, and anything he does now to try to slow it down (which he isn't even doing properly) does not lessen in the slightest his irrevocable failure.
