President Donald Trump Changes Tone For A Moment, Calls For Unity | Morning Joe

WHETHER WE CALL IT THAT IS FINE WITH ME, WALL IT WHATEVER YOU
WANT. >> LET'S TALK, JONATHAN, ABOUT
THE PRESIDENT AND HOW HE STARTED HIS SPEECH AFTER THE HORRIFIC
EVENTS OF CHARLOTTESVILLE AND HIS EQUAL LIVE HORRIFIC
RESPONSE, LAST NIGHT HE STARTED THE SPEECH CALLING FOR UNITY AND
TALKING THROUGH THE LENS OF THE MILITARY FIGHTING THE BATTLE.
TAKE A LISTEN. >> THE MEN AND WOMEN OUR
MILITARY OPERATE AS ONE SHARED TEAM WITH ONE SHARED MISSION AND
SENSE OF PURPOSE. THEY TRANSCEND EVERY LINE OF
RACE,thNESSITY,CREED AND COLOR TO SACRIFICE TOGETHER.
THE SOLDIER UNDERSTANDS WHAT WE AS A NATION TOO OFTEN FOR GET,
THAT A WOUND INFLICTED UPON A SINGLE MEMBER OF OUR COMMUNITY
IS A WOUND INFLICTED UPON US ALL.
WHEN ONE CITIZENS SUFFERS AN INJUSTICE, WE ALL SUFFER
TOGETHER. LOVE FOR AMERICA REQUIRES LOVE
FOR ALL OF ITS PEOPLE. WHEN WE OPEN OUR HEARTS TO
PATRIOTISM, THERE IS NO ROOM FOR PREJUDICE, NO PLACE FOR BIGOTRY
AND NO TOLERANCE FOR HATE. >> I THOUGHT ONE OF THE MOST
REACTIONS TO THE PRESIDENT'S DEPRESSING PRESS CONFERENCE LAST
TUESDAY WAS WHEN THE JOINT CHIEFS CAME OUT AND SAID JUST
WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAID RIGHT THERE.
IT SOUNDS LIKE A WEEK LATER THE PRESIDENT ACTUALLY IS ADOPTING
HIS OWN SERVICE LEADERS LINE AND THAT IS, YOU KNOW, THE MILITARY
CAN ONLY WORK WELL IF THEY ARE UNITED AS A FORCE AND THE SAME
WITH THE COUNTRY. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
THE WORD CHARLOTTESVILLE NEVER KRSED HE IS LAUGHS HIS REMARKS
HAVE SO DOMINATED HEADLINES THE LAST WEEK.
IT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING THIS PRESIDENCY WILL CARRY WITH HIM
FOR A LONG TIME TIME. THE ONE INDIVIDUAL WHO SUFFERED
HARM MIGHT EVEN BE THE YOUNG WOMAN IN CHARLOTTESVILLE WHO
LOST HER LIFE. I WAS STRUCK BY A FEW THINGS IN
THE SPEECH LAST NIGHT. THE PRESIDENT IS GOING TO HAVE A
RALLY TONIGHT IN PHOENIX. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOMENTS HOW
HE DID HAVE A CHANG OF HEART. WE SAW, THE IDEA OF SITTING
BEHIND THE DESK IN THE OVAL OFFICE AND IS COMING TO'
DECISION. THIS IS AN UNCONVENTIONAL
PRESIDENT WHO ALWAYS WANTS A WIN, IDEALLY AN EASY WIN, MAKING
A CHOICE. >> ONE THING YOU WILL NOT HEAR
US SAY IS "TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT DONALD TRUMP BECAME PRESIDENT."
LET'S JUST TAKE WHAT WE HAVE IN FRONT OF US, WHAT HAPPENED LAST
NIGHT. WAS IT STRIKING TO YOU?
BECAUSE IT CERTAINLY WAS TO ME THAT IT'S ONE OF THE FEW TIMES
WHEN HE STOOD IN A POSITION THAT REQUIRED THAT HE SHOWED SOME
RESTRAINT AND SHOWED SOME DIGNITY.
AND HE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT CROWD SIZES.
HE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN.
HE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT CROOKEDILY HILLARY.
HE SPOKE TO WHAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEEDED THEIR COMMANDER IN
CHIEF AT THAT MOMENT TO SPEAK TO.
WERE YOU STRUCK BY THAT LAST NIGHT?
>> I THOUGHT THE TONE WAS DIFFERENT.
HE DIDN'T SAY IT DIRECTLY BUT THE THEMES THE BUCK STOPS HERE.
I'M GOING TO ANNOUNCE SOMETHING TONIGHT THAT I DIDN'T WANT TO DO
BECAUSE I'VE GOT I DON'T KNOW THE BEST MILITARY ADVICE I CAN
AND I DON'T HEAR ANOTHER VOICE CHEERING, "USA, USA."
THIS IS A DIFFICULT TIME, SENIOR MILITARY LEDDERSHIP.
I THINK TRUMP WAS JEFR WHELMED BY THE REAL BURDEN DOESN'T DO
ANYTHING HARDER THAN SENDING TROOP AND I THINK HE NEEDS TO
FEEL HE CAN PELL WOUNDED WARRIORS WHO COME BACK FROM
THREE DEMOUMTS WHAT THEY WERE DOING, WHAT THEY WERE SACRIFICE,
I'M CONTINUING THE THING A YOU BELIEVED HIM, FOUGHT FOR.
WE'RE NOT GOING GIVE IT UP, WE'RE NOT GOING TO WALK
AWAYAGAIN, I'M TOLD THE FEELING AS THEY MOVED TOWARD MAKING THIS
IT IS. >> MARK HALPERIN, THIS IS A
PRESIDENT WHO HAS ALWAYS MADE THE EASY CHOICE POLITICALLY AND
AS A CANDIDATE, ALWAYS TAKING THE CHEAP SHOT, ALWAYS PLAYED TO
THE LOWEST COMMON KEY NO HE TU
