“In the face of a brutal new Democratic advertising assault, Donald Trump said he plans to rehabilitate his battered image in the coming weeks by publicly addressing head-on some of the most controversial episodes of his campaign,” the Washington Post reports.
“The presumptive Republican presidential nominee’s strategy is fueled by a desire to persuade voters that he’s nothing like the monster he believes his political adversaries and the media have portrayed him to be. Trump is taking other steps to recalibrate the impression he leaves voters. He sat down for a television special airing Tuesday night to make peace with Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly, with whom he has feuded for 10 months, and he has forcefully contested reporting that shows him to be callous and lecherous with women.”
“The moment speaks to the core challenge for Trump: His incendiary behavior, both before and during his populist campaign, has sown doubts about his character and fitness for office.”
