Trump: I’m not changing strategy or my temperament

By Louis Nelson

08/09/16 09:27 AM EDT


On the heels of his campaign’s worst week yet, Donald Trump suggested that it is his temperament that “has gotten me here” and said he has no plans to change it.

“I think that my temperament has gotten me here,” Trump said in a Tuesday morning interview on Fox Business Network. “I’ve always had a good temperament and it’s gotten me here. We beat a lot of people in the primaries and now we have one person left, and we’re actually doing pretty well there, but we’ll see how it all comes out.”

Trump’s poll numbers have sagged in recent days after he spent much of last week feuding with the Gold Star family of a fallen Muslim soldier and with prominent lawmakers in his own party. After initially refusing to endorse House Speaker Paul Ryan and Sens. John McCain and Kelly Ayotte in their respective primary races, Trump offered an about-face and voiced his support for all three. By then, the intense scrutiny — combined with Clinton’s bump from a well-received Democratic National Convention — had taken their toll on Trump’s campaign.

And I have no plans to stop campaigning against him.

And, he's not going to change the way he speaks, either:

Quote
Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart—you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you're a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.

Many people are suggesting that Trump just said 2nd Amendment people could do something to harm Clinton:

Seriously, though, why would he change now?  He's getting his friend Hillary elected just fine...there's no need to change.

"Although the Second Amendment, people, maybe there is, I don't know."

Wise words.

The beauty of that statement, while it seems like nonsense to you and I, is that it can mean anything his supporters want it to.
This is part of the reason he has made it this far.

That statement deserves its own thread.

And you should invite everyone who's been crusading for Trump to tell us what it means, and why we should vote for the imbecile who said it.

And then you could ask them to diagram it.  ^-^

@mystery-ak

The pivotal question is, does he know what the word, "temperament" means?
I seriously doubt it.

OK, besides the obvious problems with that, let me just say that the "good genes, very good genes" part really bothers me.  So he and his uncle as genetically superior?  Is that why we cannot understand his rambling?
I'm not saying anything about Trump's German heritage but it just might prove relevant to the discussion.

My very good friend, Catherine, Trump is saying the people who own guns, the second amendment people, could do something about it by killing her. 

I just saw an interview with one of the 50 security men who signed that letter about him being dangerous, saying if anyone else had said that about killing her, that person would be detained by the secret service.  Trump just gave his okay for someone to kill her.
