After angry rally, Trump will call for healing in Nevada

Washington (CNN)Hours after his irate campaign rally in Phoenix, President Donald Trump will call Wednesday for national healing.

"It is time to heal the wounds that have divided us, and to seek a new unity based on the common values that unite us," Trump will say in a speech to the National Convention of the American Legion in Reno, Nevada, according to advance excerpts of the speech provided by the White House.

"We are one people, with one home, and one flag," Trump will say.

At least on paper, it's a more conciliatory tone than the overall thrust of his rally in Phoenix, during which he loudly slammed the media, Democrats, and some members of his own party. Trump began on a less divisive note in Arizona, insisting the nation must bridge its racial and cultural divides. But his rally devolved from there into a furious takedown of his perceived enemies.

I have laundry and dishes to do. Tomatoes to water. But if you step away from the TV for half an hour you miss a major Trump fit.

Hurry up, Mueller. (I know he's preparing a solid case, but I am impatient.)

Drumpf and entire Repug complicit party must be exposed for their treason and criminality. Drumpf, his boys, Pence, Ryan, McConnell and who knows how many other Repugs took $$ from Russian for their campaigns. Mueller has to expose their criminal theft of the election and all have to go. That's what will heal this nation, truth and the actions needed to remove the actual criminals. Shoring up America's voting systems so they can't be hacked needs to happen NOW!! Getting the gerrymandered districts redrawn more fairly also is needed NOW.
