Trump: I’m not going start 'toning it down'

By Caitlin Yilek

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump told his supporters he doesn’t plan to start “toning it down” as the race for the White House nears the GOP convention.

“You know, being presidential’s easy — much easier than what I have to do,” Trump said at a campaign rally Saturday in Bridgeport, Conn. “Here, I have to rant and rave. I have to keep people going. Otherwise you’re going to fall asleep on me, right?”

That message contradicts the one Trump’s chief strategist Paul Manafort told top Republican officials on Thursday.

“The part that he’s been playing is now evolving into the part that you’ve been expecting,” Manafort told Republican National Committee (RNC) members at the party’s spring meeting in Hollywood, Fla.

Trump appears to be pushing back.

“If I acted presidential, I can guarantee you this morning I wouldn’t be here,” Trump said earlier Saturday in Waterbury, Conn.

“I sort of don’t like toning it down,” Trump added. “Isn’t it nice that I’m not one of these teleprompter guys?”

He's going to do what he wants.  He CAN'T "tone it down."

He knows no other way to behave than hurling insults, derogatory names, encouraging violence, ridiculing his opponents, and spouting ignorance when it comes to policies.

Good.  That means he'll go down in flames in November.

Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

How can anyone listen to this adolescent boy and think there is a man of substance there?

More than anything else, Donald seems intent upon burning his bridges before he has crossed them.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Many have predicted his political self-destruction.  He may set his entire campaign of fire before it is said and done.

Toning it down? That would mean Trump going from Orange to his normal color.  A paler shade of jaundice Yellow.
