Trump occasionally spends a few days staying generally on script, by his standards. But the president's traditional behavior always come back.

Donald Trumps new tones are perpetually faltering.
After a week in which the president was more willing to stick to a script, to temporarily eschew some of his more fact-challenged medical statements and to keep many of answers to reporters questions uncharacteristically succinct, Trumps more typical behavior is starting to show through.
In the last day, he again chided governors who were slowing economic reopenings amid a nationwide coronavirus surge, and he returned to promoting flawed information about hydroxychloroquine, MAGAworlds preferred Covid-19 drug, even as top public health officials debate its efficacy. Tuesday night, Trump characteristically doubled down, defending his decision to trumpet misleading claims from a doctor who has also alleged alien DNA is used in medical treatments and vaccines are disseminated to prevent people from being religious.
I thought she was very impressive, Trump said. She said that she's had tremendous success with hundreds of different patients. I thought her voice was an important voice, but I know nothing about her."
