"Well, I want to thank everybody," were the first words out of the notoriously not-so-humble former president's mouth. Then he commended GOP rivals Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis and invited his political opponents - whom he called "Democrats" and "liberals," not "communists, Marxists, fascists, and the radical-left thugs that live like vermin " - to join his effort to unify America.
So did we witness the birth of a kinder, gentler, more inclusive Trump on Monday night? Not exactly. CNN cut away from his remarks around the halfway mark, and many sleep-deprived political observers probably did the same. But just moments later, Trump started rambling about the migrant "invasion" and trashing Joe Biden and Jimmy Carter.
