Between the lines: Trump never really wanted criminal justice reform, according to people who have discussed the subject with him privately. He's told them he only supported it because Kushner asked him to. Though he has repeatedly trumpeted it as a politically useful policy at times.
- Trump now says privately it was misguided to pursue this policy, undercutting his instincts, and that he probably won't win any more African American support because of it.
- "He truly believes there is a silent majority out there that's going to come out in droves in November," said a source who's talked to the president in recent days.
Your instincts! Keep going with your instincts!
