As s President Donald Trump nears his 100th day on the job, hes been admitting to reporters that governing is much harder than he expected.
A panel on MSNBCs Morning Joe agreed this signaled something like a change in tone for the blustery and self-aggrandizing Trump, who is loath to show weakness.
Notice, when hes speaking now, hes speaking in much more hushed tones, said panelist Donny Deutsch. Its a nuance, but theres not the volume to the voice and the words themselves, even when he describes the North Korean leader as, Im not saying this, Im not saying this, kind of presenting facts, there seems to be a much more nuanced, rational, restrained yes, theres still the political Tourettes, and we still get some of these ridiculous things but if you really step back and, if you just landed from Mars in the last two weeks and you really listened to the president, both in tone and content, you would say maybe theres a bit more normalcy going on there.
Co-host Willie Geist, whos filling in for Joe Scarborough, reminded Deutsch that Trump has a rally Saturday, where hes less likely to deliver a nuanced viewpoint.
You might see more nuance, the volume will go up, but there is something that has happened whether its (Steve) Bannon going away, whatever it is, something the meds have changed, Deutsch said. Whatever it is, something has turned a bit in the last few weeks.

One thing it's not is nuance. He probably couldn't define - hell, he probably couldn't spell - nuance.
