It's not so much "if" as "what", I suspect. And some of it may be intentional distraction -- was anyone else aware that he'd settled the Trump University lawsuit rather than let it go to court?
Oh, and as I noted earlier and elsewhere, http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/22/politics/ ... index.html]Trump's doing everything he can to toss the alt-right overboard now that he's President. I have to wonder if this was always the plan, or if someone recently managed to beat into his head the idea that embracing the white supremacists and neo-nazis would be a long-term PR debacle for his administration.
Edit: And now he's abandoning the idea of http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/22/politics/ ... peditorial]prosecuting Hillary Clinton that was such a big part of his late-campaign rhetoric. He's apparently also softening his stance on climate change as well. Or so he's claiming. The problem is, during the campaign he showed himself so willing to say anything regardless of proof to contrary, it's hard to believe that anything he says at any time can possibly be the truth. So maybe he's not throwing the alt-right under the bus -- he just wants everyone to think he has so he doesn't start his term already painted a nazi and a racist.
