Trump aides promise new delusion for voters

Reuters - Top advisers to Donald Trump assured Republican Party leaders that the New York billionaire would adopt a more presidential demeanor soon, to temper the image projected during his campaign so far.

Trump's representatives, including newly recruited senior advisers Paul Manafort and Rick Wiley, met privately with leaders of the Republican National Committee at an oceanside resort hotel where the party is holding a three-day meeting.

“The part that he’s been playing is now evolving into the part that you’ve been expecting. The negatives will come down, the image is going to change," Trump senior adviser Paul Manafort assured the party leaders, according to an audiotape of the session heard by Reuters.

Trump has been "projecting an image" to energize voters, Manafort said, adding that he will soon concentrate on "crooked Hillary," the nickname that Trump has given to Democratic favorite Hillary Clinton.

"You'll see a different guy," said Manafort.
