Trump reverts to being an attack dog

It didn't take long. For a moment everyone, including possibly Donald Trump himself, thought the Milwaukee assassination attempt would change him for good. His call for unity was the first real sign that maybe he was going to change his ways and try and be nice to everyone for the sake of the country. But that was delusionary. The old Trump was back in the swing pretty rapidly, bad-mouthing Kamala Harris and calling her a liar. Admittedly the vice president and now Democratic nominee for the White House has been replying with some stinging stuff about Trump, the convicted felon, speaking, as she does, as a former attorney and prosecutor. She knows all about people like Trump. But Trump really has missed his chance. It's just possible that if he had kept up his calls for unity and had been a little less abrasive about Kamala, he might have built a fresh momentum to encourage doubters aqnd independents to vote for him. As it is, he has been spitting insults whenever he has the chance, either in speeches or on social media and everyone in America, I assume, has come to the same conclusion. Trump, the same old Trump, is back. His miraculous survival at Milwaukee has not changed him after all. I think the reason for this is because he now genuinely fears that his march to the White House could be obstructed by this fine-looking, much younger, much more smiley woman who could actually beat him in November. So from now on Trump is going to be the attack dog we've been used to for such a long time.
