'He is a changed man': The View laughs that Trump only lied 20 times in his RNC speech

For the past week, the theory circulating was that Donald Trump's brush with near assassination had left him a "changed man" more focused on unity than retribution

But, when he delivered his speech to the Republican National Convention Thursday, he pivoted from prepared remarks to the same themes voiced at multiple previous allies, former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) told The View.

The co-hosts laughed back that he really had changed — and quoted reports saying that Trump lied only 20 times in his remarks that spanned more than 90 minutes.

"Only 20 lies in 92 minutes?" exclaimed Joy Behar. "Wow, he is a changed man."

Alyssa Farah Griffin, former communications director at Trump's White House, confessed that she needed to admit she was wrong about a prediction.

"I was skeptical of this media narrative that he is a changed man," she said. "I plead guilty to a very bad prediction. Surely, he can get through a telepromptered speech without invoking Hannibal Lecter. I was wrong. He brought up our friend Hannibal Lecter."

Griffin went on to say that the rambling speech shows Trump "is an infinitely beatable candidate." She called him "polarizing and divisive," regardless of what he went through.

"He's not as sharp as he once was," she continued. "It was meandering. He was losing his train of thought. It didn't make a ton of sense. But the reality is, we — Democrats are currently running the one person who seems incapable of beating him and I think these conversations happening around [Joe] Biden are going to continue, because people saw that and said, wait, we can beat this guy. Why aren't we? Why is he winning in every battleground state? So I'll sit back and watch what happens."
