On Wednesday’s NBC Today, co-host Savannah Guthrie began an interview with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer by suggesting that President Trump’s performance during Tuesday night’s address to Congress was all an act: “Before we get to the substance of the speech, and we will, let's talk about this decisive change in the President's tone. To borrow another political phrase, is this a kinder, gentler Donald Trump and do you buy it?”
Predictably, the New York Democrat denounced the speech: “Not really. And the reason is very simple. With this President, more than any other, his speeches are detached from reality. In his campaign, and even his inaugural speech, he talks to the working people of America, but for the last 40 days his actions have been decidedly on the side of the special interests hurting working America.”
