The Daily 202: Will Trump deliver the unifying inaugural address that his aides keep promising?

THE BIG IDEA: Donald Trump’s advisers and surrogates keep saying that tomorrow will be the day when he finally – finally! – pivots to become presidential.

Tom Barrack, a longtime friend and business partner of Trump who is running the Presidential Inaugural Committee, said tomorrow’s big speech will focus on “the issues that unite us” and declared that the divisions from the campaign will “vanish.” “What you’ll hear in his address is a switch from candidate to president,” he said on “CBS This Morning.”

Incoming White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Trump will emphasize the country’s “shared values.” “He wants to continue to talk about issues and areas where he can unite the country (and) bring it together,” Spicer said.
