Trump: I’m not going start 'toning it down'
The Hill ^ | 4/23/16 | 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?”

“Toning down” is what the GOPe did when it decided to become the “REPUBLICANTS” and roll over for the radical left and DO NOTHING to fight tyranny and sedition from an obviously criminal opposition party.

Trump knows that.

I would suggest ramping it up on Hillary. She is the ultimate enemy in this war.

We want Trump to be Trump, it has gotten him this far, and it will carry him into the White House in 2016...

One thing people have to understand about Trump, he is from New York, born, raised and built his empire there, he isn’t afraid to say it like it is, Hillary on the other hand, is a ‘carpetbagger’ and she thinks because she’s a ‘female’ men shouldn’t be ‘mean’ to her...I have some news for everyone: ‘If you enter any type of ring with a man, be prepared to get treated as a man’...and Trump is not afraid to ‘say it like it is’ and that is going to throw her off balance which is what we need to see happen, so you can see and hear what the REAL Hillary is all about!!!

Trump should not tone it down. But he should be more prepared. He should have answers to the questions of the day. They can be Trump answers, but its best if he knows the answer he is going to stick with first. And then he can move on. Changing his answer three times before he settles on one he likes is not going to produce much confidence.

To defend his answer on bathrooms (if you want to). He should point out that pedophiles come in both sexes and go after their own sex as much as the opposite sex. And by the way, they don’t need bathrooms to do their dirty work. Pedophiles are dangerous everywhere there are children. Churches, classrooms and homes are not safe for children where pedophiles are concerned.

So watch how his foreign policy speech is presented on Wed. night. It’s not ‘toning down’ to adapt a style that’s approriate for the occasion, just as we all do (just observe Joe Sixpack who is meek and mild Sunday morning in church and then spends the afternoon swearing at football players, coaches, and officials in front of the TV).

It’s no big deal.

She sure isn’t going to be able to play little girl like she did with Lazzaro...or whatever his name is.

That’s for sure!
I can’t speak for anywhere else, but at least once/month or oftener, a school employee is busted here in MI for sexual misbehavior on kids.
Then, there’s those state-approved daycare folks. All too often there, too.
How many more go unreported because the babies are too young to tattle.
I think Donald needs to tell it like it really is.

Isn’t that what he did with the NC law discussion?

“She sure isn’t going to be able to play little girl like she did with Lazzaro...or whatever his name is.”

I just imagine that Trump won’t give “invading her space” a second thought. In fact, invading her space will be the least of Hitlary’s problems when she “debates” Trump.

Never change a winning style. Trump is winning being Trump!We don’t need or want another slick lawyer liar promising the moon. We want America back without P.C. like it used to be.

If y'all want to see the real Trump, watch this interview conducted December 2014. During the interview, Trump discusses parts of his childhood and how he started his company and how he grew the business.

It becomes fascinating at about the 4:30 minute mark.

Harley, if you want, you may want to HTML this link and pass it along. Thanks.

I am a very strong, pro Trump advocate, but he should keep his trap shut on these kinds of issues. A president shouldn't stick his nose in bedrooms and bathrooms so to speak.

I want Trump to straighten out the country by running the country like a business.
