In a recent turn of events, former President Donald Trump is reportedly reconsidering his approach to his forthcoming appearance at the Republican National Convention, according to a Monday report by Axios.
This comes as a surprise to many, as the former President is known for his unwavering stance on various issues.
As reported by Mediaite, Tucker Carlson, a prime-time speaker at the convention, confirmed the authenticity of Trump's change of heart to Axios founders Mike Allen and Jim VandeHei. I think its real, Carlson stated, adding, Getting shot in the face changes a man.
The Axios report delved into the speculation that Trump's acceptance speech, upon receiving his party's nomination, might deviate from its original tone. In a conversation with a few journalists, including Salena Zito, Trump revealed that he was revising his speech. The speech I was going to give on Thursday was going to be a humdinger, he disclosed, Had this not happened, this wouldve been one of the most incredible speeches primarily targeting President Joe Biden's policies. He further added, Honestly, its going to be a whole different speech now.
Trump also emphasized the opportunity his revised speech presents for national unity. It is a chance to bring the country together. I was given that chance, he said.
In the wake of the assassination attempt on Trump, both he and President Biden have called for unity. Consequently, Axios reported that individuals in Trump's circle are being urged to modify their rhetoric for their convention speeches. Trump has reportedly instructed his aides to prevent the convention's prime-time speakers from altering their remarks to amplify outrage over the shooting. This unexpected shift in tone from the former President underscores the potential for change, even within the most steadfast of political figures.
