Donald Trump is very subdued at the Republican National Convention — as Tucker Carlson said, the assassination attempt was a transformation. Trump recalled the moment, but he also praised the crowd, who didn’t stampede. He said he’s spoken with the wife of Corey Comperatore, the firefighter in the crowd who was killed.

How many times he donned that turnout gear to save people lives and then lost his saving his own family from an attempted assassination of President Trump. His lived and died a hero.

Meanwhile, 34 percent of Democrats thought it was staged and Trump wasn’t shot. This is a speech from a man who narrowly missed death. That day was transformational.
Trump is trying to take the high road in a way Democrats have failed to do for many years.
This is Trump’s most effective speech in a long time.

At one of the most important times, too. Maybe something did actually change him on Saturday.

If this Trump shows up for the next four months he wins.
