After the UN speech, and a while after throwing some of the worst of the Alt Right dickheads out on the street, Trump's approval rating is going up. I have to say, I'm just a tad less worried about him than I was earlier this year. While he's still the worst President in US history, thus far, in my book ... I have to give due credit for these slight improvements.
He has a bad habit of reversing everything in short order, so don't put too much value on brief bursts of near-normalcy.
It may be worse than that. There is a tug or war between Trump's handlers who will give Trump some solid establishment advice from their perspectives, and the impulsive Trump who got where he was by following his gut and his base. I'd expect that what Trump says in a prepared speech will be different than what he Tweets at 3:00 in the morning. It does seem to be getting better, and the UN speech leans heavy towards the establishment wisdom, but Trump remains Trump.
I'm certainly glad not to count on either guy. We'll see.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
