Two Trumps? He'll do both prepared speeches and rallies, aide says


There will be at least two Donald Trumps on the campaign trail this year, aides indicate — one giving prepared speeches and the other holding mass rallies.

"You're going to see Donald Trump making more speeches that are set speeches, which you haven't seen in the past for the most part," Trump adviser Paul Manafort said Sunday on ABC's This Week. "You're going to see more interaction in different environments other than rallies."

Trump tends to be more low key in his set speeches, such as in the one he delivered Friday to a summit of the Faith & Freedom Coalition.

This doesn't mean Trump will give up the rallies, where he is more vocal and outspoken (and tends to say more controversial things).

"You're also going to see the rallies," Manafort said. "The rallies — Donald Trump gets energy from (them), and frankly gives energy back."
