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."

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

Skeptical.

The headline seems to be Fake News based on the content of the article.

No. Tone was fine.

We have had too many Milquetoast Republicans in DC.

We needed a do-er, not another politician with unfulfilled promises.

The tone was what got you elected.

Relax everyone. This is a tactic by Trump.

Remember when he said he's not responsible if Republicans lose the House?

The man covers his bases and this is no exception. If the Dims win the House, of course he's going to be cutting deals with them to get his agenda passed. Because Paul Ryan sure as Hell haven't done anything to help Trump other than pass obligatory tax cuts.

If he did this, I think he may be trying to be magnanimous because he believes Pubbies will hold both the House and Senate tomorrow.

Precisely.

From the link....

“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.
The president also stated that he had doubts about using a softer tone because he might have been “swamped” by his opposition.

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.”

Nothing new, under the sun.

I don’t see where he said what the NeverTrump Sinclair headline says he said.

The problem wasn’t his “tone,” whatever that is. It was his occasional personal attack and digression from issues and agenda i.e., “horceface.”

Don't do it on my account.

The rats push us into the “tone”. We should have started pushing back a long time ago say when Nixon was in office. We have rolled over too many times and they are not used to us pushing back. Now when we do it’s a what’s wrong with you attitude. Fed up.

You can read the BS by seeing how they use quotes.
