Trump, who had last week chided Clinton for "reading her speech from a teleprompter" succumbed today to using the teleprompter after he came under enormous scrutiny for his past statements especially the recent regarding the nationality and partiality of the judge in his Trump University case.
Besides the reinvention of Donald Trump through his speech, he also took the time to woo the supporters of Bernie Sanders. From joining his voice to condemn the superdelegates principle that seems to be alienating Bernie Sanders, he highlighted the nexus between his manifesto and that of Bernie.

"To those who voted for someone else in either party, I will work hard to earn your support.... To all of those Bernie Sanders voters who have been left out in the cold by a rigged system of super delegates, we welcome you with open hands.
"By the way the terrible trade deals that Bernie is vehemently against, and he is right about that, will be taken care of far better than anyone ever thought possible. And that is what I do. We are going to have fantastic trade deals. We are gonna start making money and bringing in jobs."
Trump however never talked about his statement about the "Mexican judge", rather he referred to himself as a peace lover who has "built an extraordinary business on relationships and deals that benefit all parties involved always". Highlighting further that his "goal is always again to bring people together".
While the Donald Trump's speech may have won pundits over with the matured manner it was delivered, devoid of the typical name calling except for the "billion Clinton", a closer scrutiny of his statement could reveal some factually contradicting stance.
First, his statement about building "an extraordinary business ... that benefit all parties involved" may not stand a scrupulous scrutiny. He may have made a name in real estate, but his business acumen could be questioned. He has failed in casino business, airlines and professional football, and a few other sectors with the adverse consequences on the wealth of other investors. His failed businesses could be pointed at as some sources of pains to some of his business associates.
The statement of Michael d'Antonio rings loud in support of this analysis when he wrote in Trump's biography thus;
Another aspect of his speech that comes under severe scrutiny is the part that concerns his goal to "bring people together". While the statement may remain a rhetoric, every statement made by Trump in the build up of his nomination has been divisive. Among his fellow aspirants, he started with "the little Rubio" cliche, and the "lying Ted" among other have not only driven a screwdriver on the screws that hold the Republican Party together, but exposes his "faulty" temperament. In addition to the name calling of his fellow aspirants, his statement about Senator John McCain not being a war veteran because he was war prisoner and his diatribes against the Bush dynasty gave the last blow that broke the camel's hunch.
Outside the Republican Party establishment, his "build a wall" on the US/Mexican border, "ban all Muslims from entering the US," and his attacks on United Kingdom, United States' closest ally, were nothing more than divisive. And it is a far cry from this assumed goal.
Hopefully, he is not "play[ing] to people's fantasies" by his speech.

"but there were many people who weren't wealthy who lost money on those bankruptcies. Anyone who invested in a bond fund or who bought individual securities that were linked to his casinos lost money."However, despite some business failures, Trump has kept his billionaire status, while some business associates have lost big time. Also, instead of letting all party benefit, Trump has the inclination of having his last name: Trump, stand tall in all the successful ventures. Is it the Trump Tower, Trump Airlines, Trump Magazine, Trump Hotels and Casinos, Trump Plazas or the controversial Trump University? He gives credit to himself alone; and this actually contrasts with his statement of working to the benefit of all, most time enveloping his loses by Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings.
