Trump Pivots Backward:In new month, Trump returns to his old style
-Snip-
Arriving 30 minutes late, Trump eschewed the teleprompters he’s been relying on more in recent weeks and ad-libbed his way through 50 minutes of remarks, promising to repeal “job killing regulations,” to “protect the Second Amendment,” to appoint conservative Supreme Court justices, to back away from the Trans-Pacific Partnership and other trade agreements and to build a border wall to prevent illegal immigration.
“We’re going to build the wall, Mexico’s going to pay for the wall,” Trump said in a state where Latinos account for 20 percent of the population and could make up more than 15 percent of the electorate in November.

But despite Lewandowski’s being gone for nearly two weeks, the speech reprised a number of deep cuts from the freewheeling rallies that were a staple of Trump’s primary campaign, including the “BING, BANG, BONG” sound effects, stream of consciousness musings on the latest polls and well-worn lines about the country “winning so much you’ll be sick of winning.”
-Snip-
And it comes on the first day of the month in which Trump will announce his vice presidential pick and officially accept the Republican Party’s presidential nomination — a day that began with reports that more of the operatives he’d hired less than two weeks ago to help professionalize and stabilize his campaign had abruptly resigned.
