‘Different Trump’: NBC’s Katy Tur And Chuck Todd Wowed By Former President’s ‘Changed’ Demeanor After Shooting

NBC’s Katy Tur and Chuck Todd were struck by former President Donald Trump’s “different” demeanor at the Republican National Convention (RNC) following the attempt on his life.

A crowd erupted late Monday as a bandaged Trump made his first public appearance since getting shot in the ear at the Republican National Convention (RNC), appearing emotional. Tur and Todd on “Katy Tur Reports” said Trump seems like a new person after he almost lost his life.

“Chuck, last night looking at Donald Trump, I know we’ve been talking about this, but I think it bears having another conversation. I’ve never seen him with that look on his face,” Tur said. “I’ve never seen him walk into a room and look overwhelmed in that way. It almost seemed emotional. Can we honestly ask whether a brush with death has changed him?”

“You know, you weren’t the only one,” Todd responded. “We all were noticing this and I think we all had different conversations of going, ‘Boy, that just looks like a different Trump.’ You know, he’s a human being. I think sometimes we so cover these presidential candidates as caricatures we forget there’s a human being here. And you know, part of me wondered, ‘this is the first time he’s been in a crowded room.’ Is he going to feel, if you’ve been shot at in a crowd, are you going to be comfortable no matter what the Secret Service tells you how safe things are?”

Todd also speculated Trump’s demeanor may have been a result of “pain” from the shooting injury that happened so recently. Both Todd and Tur expressed surprise with the atmosphere of the RNC after the assassination attempt.
