The question of Trump pivoting keeps coming up despite the fact that he always reverts to his standard juvenile boorishness.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/Pix\/Trump\/trump-yell-tv.jpg\" alt=\"Donald Trump\" width=\"550\" height=\"317\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-34938\" \/><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/posts\/1875669812447805\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Facebook\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/Pix\/Advs\/fb-share-tn.jpg\" width=\"274\" height=\"20\" class=\"aligncenter\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sunday morning Trump proved once again that he can&#8217;t maintain any semblance of dignity for more than a few minutes.
