Trump says he regrets the tone he used during first 2 years in office
ABC 7 WJLA ^ | Nov 5, 2018 | Sinclair Broadcast Group

Posted on 11/05/2018 4:24:20 PM PST by CondoleezzaProtege

President Donald Trump said he regrets the tone he has used during his first two years in office during an exclusive interview with Sinclair Broadcast Group.

"I would like to have a much softer tone. I feel to a certain extent I have no choice, but maybe I do," Trump said. He attributed his tone during his first two years in office to wanting to get things done on his agenda, adding that he could have been softer in his delivery.

He said after the midterm election his tone is something he will be working on and he hopes there will be more harmony between Republicans and Democrats.

"I would love to get along, and I think after the election a lot of things can happen. But right now they are in their mode, and we are in our mode. And you know if you're criticized you have to hit back, or you should," Trump said.

Trump remained optimistic that an olive branch would be extended after Tuesday's race.

"I hope so. It is certainly better for the country," Trump remarked. "I hope that happens and we are certainly willing to do that. And think before anything else we have to get tomorrow over with."

Trump accomplished what he did because he had to defend himself and project. He intimated this during the interview. The headline is in need of some clarification. It’s not exactly the truth on it’s own.

He did say he would be working on tone during the next two years, but he also said that if he had tried to use better tone during the first two years, he would have run the danger of being swamped. They media’s tone against him was in full on attack mode for two years.

Has anyone asked the media if they regret their tone? Are they planning on working on their tone over the next few years?

I don’t care too much if he softens his tone as long as he starts rounding up the domestic enemies and starts throwing em out of helicopters
