I don't think this is a bad strategy for him. He needs to give his supporters cover. Of course it will be fake, but his supporters don't care (just like how he is a fake Christian and fake pro military/tough guy). Fox will rave about how effective and wonderful the speech was and his supporters will say how moved they were by his words and how he is clearly not a racist. In the end he will get credit for signing legislation that the democrats write.
ETA: This speech will be about getting back the 2ish percent who have left him in the last week, not the people who are always against him.

Many former trump supporters will see right through the bullshit trump will try to address; my brother being one of them.

He should have made such an address 10 days ago.
His advisers were trying to persuade him back then. They gave up because of his complete disinterest in the subject. And he’s interested now??? (Color me skeptical)

Man I hope he gives this speech. At best, he'll read monotonically from a teleprompter, verbatim. Any less than that, and he'll start ad-libbing in his own garbage, and we all know how that goes!

Trump defended police departments and offered up an executive order that he said will help repair America’s centuries of racism “very quickly and very easily.” Right after he releases his tax returns. In other words ANY DAY NOW

I would have assumed it would have been higher than that. If that's all he got, and a large chunk of the black electorate is motivated by recent happenings, he's screwed.

I think his speech was his "roundtable" yesterday. A kool aid drinking friend posted it on FB and I said no roundtable I have ever sat on only included people who were going to praise you and not question you. I told her it was a trump rally.

I wonder if Great Leader is aware of former Philadelphia mayor Frank Rizzo's campaign slogan: "Vote White". Frank Rizzo
